I taught a tutorial on political science research methods for the Oxford Programme for Undergraduate Studies (Spring 2020). As the sole instructor, I tailored the syllabus to meet the requirements of the course equivalent at the students' home institution, led the tutorial and lab sessions, and evaluated all student works.
POSC 295 is designed to provide students with the substantive knowledge and skills required to conduct their own research in political science.

Tutorial on Governance of Emerging Technologies in China
I taught a tutorial on "Governance of Emerging Technologies in China" for the Williams College (Exeter Programme at Oxford) 2019. As the sole instructor, I designed the syllabus, led the tutorial sessions, and evaluated all student works.
The course covered the political implications of emerging technologies in China, with a focus on AI governance. Structured in the format of the Oxford tutorial system , the course investigated the similarities between China's approach to AI governance and its regulation of other dual-use technologies, such as biotechnology.
This module will provide an introduction to some of the social, political, and ethical implications of advanced AI technologies. It is a wide-ranging topic that includes analyzing agent incentives, governance issues from the local to the global scale, social disruptions, and the role of both technical and non-technical experts in improving public policy related to AI.
