Teaching

I give public lectures in environmental politics, environmental security (including disasters and crises), disinformation, social movements, and international relations theory. I have been an invited speaker and guest lecturer at the Canada School of Public Service (2023), the Asian Institute of Management (2023), the Geneva Centre for Security Policy (2022), the Columbia University’s Earth Institute (2021), the University of Alaska-Anchorage (2020), Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars (2019), University of Oxford (2018), University of British Columbia (2015, 2016, 2017, 2018), and the 2012 Jean Monnet Seminar in Kiev, Ukraine.

I also lead and facilitate research workshops, including scenario development sessions and simulations.
