Hello! Looking forward to having you in class!
For Emory & Henry student taking STAT 162: Introduction to Statistics for the Social Sciences, there will be three books required. Unfortunately, stats books are pricey.

I’m looking forward to this course! A draft (key word draft) syllabus is available here POLS_105_Intro_International_Relations.
Goldstein, Joshua S. and Jon C. Pevehouse. 2013-2014. International Relations Update, 10th Edition. New York: Pearson.
-To save yourself some money, you can rent this text for the semester via Amazon or other retailer. This text is about $130 new, but renting it for a semester is about $30.
-I will create tests questions from the 10th Edition, update. I will not be responsible for discrepancies in versions, but previous versions of this text are very similar. These previous editions of the textbook are available for purchase at low prices.
Feldman, Noah. 2013. Cool War: The Future of Global Competition. New York: Random House.
-This text will come out with a new edition on September 1. Either edition will be fine. This text can be purchased used for a very reasonable price on Amazon (used for under $10 including shipping).
-We will begin using this text on September 17.
Currently working as an instructor for the “International Ingenuity: Political Simulations and Problem Solving” course for Duke TIP India 2015. Absolutely love teaching this class and getting to work with some incredible people.
More info on the program (along with some of my students’ work) can be found here.
Excited to announce that I’ve successfully defended my dissertation and will join the faculty as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Politics, Law, and International Relations at Emory & Henry College in Fall 2015.
