Teaching Interests
American Politics, Public Opinion, Political Psychology, Race, Media, and Politics,
University Teaching Experience
I have extensive experience serving as a leader in the university classroom. At the Naval Academy, I teach courses on American constitutional development, politics and media, and race, class, gender, and sexuality in American politics.
Research on Teaching and Learning
I also conduct research on teaching and pedagogy, which focuses on teaching race and strategies for inclusive and equitable teaching. I authored two teaching guides on managing student stress and promoting gender inclusivity titled "Keeping Stress From Evolving Into Distress: A Guide on Managing Stress Through Course Design" and "Teaching Beyond the Gender Binary in the University Classroom." I also co-authored a teaching guide on teaching race titled "Teaching Race: Pedagogy and Practice" with Amie Thurber (Portland State University) and Joe Bandy (Vanderbilt University). More recently, I publised an article titled "Collaborative Note-taking: A Tool for Creating a more Inclusive University Classroom" in College Teaching and published a co-authored article titled "Teaching Race and Racial Justice: Pedagogical Principles and Classroom Strategies for Course Instructors" in Race and Pedagogy.
Freelance Consulting
Drawing on seven years of experience, I also work as a consultant hosting workshops for organizations on inclusivity, equity, and diversity issues in higher education. Feel free to contact me at mbharbin at gmail dot com for more information on scheduling a workshop.
