I teach courses in public law including Introduction to Law; American Constitutionalism I; American Constitutionalism II (Civil Rights and Civil Liberties) and Current Issues in the Supreme Court (a study of the Roberts Court). I am particularly interested in the role of the courts in the culture wars. This was the topic of my dissertation: Culture Warriors Go to Court: The Supreme Court and the Culture Wars.
