Teaching
My teaching philosophy is largely to structure courses around assignments that I make as engaging as possible: everything else I do aims at helping students to produce the best possible work on a topic of interest to them.
At Uppsala thus far, I have taught economic sociology at the Masters level. Previously, at the undergraduate level, I have taught political economy, qualitative comparative research methods, and survey experiments. At Bristol I also used to take 2nd-year students on field trips to the Mediterranean (first Mallorca, later Barcelona). I developed a Masters course in environmental policy and politics, and for a time I directed Bristol's MSc program in Environmental Policy and Management. That program was originally the brain child of my good friend and former colleague Adam Dixon (now the Adam Smith Chair in Sustainable Capitalism at Adam Smith's Panmure House, Edinburgh); over time my good friend and former colleague Sean Fox then made it better.
At the Barcelona Summer School in Survey Methodology, for several years, I gave an annual short course on Analysing comparative longitudinal survey data using multilevel models.
