This page includes a running collection of recorded lectures, syllabi, and other teaching resources about topics and methods in comparative politics, international relations, and political violence. I’m sharing these materials publicly because they may be useful for your own teaching on relevant topics.
If you plan to use these materials in your teaching, I’d appreciate a heads-up—and encourage feedback from you and your students!—at daniel.solomon18@gmail.com. I’m also enthusiastic about new opportunities to guest-lecture for high school and college courses.
