The lecturer will teach a required course that introduces students to the principles of microeconomics with a focus on questions in public policy, such as housing policy/rent control, the design of the social safety net, minimum wages, unemployment benefits, education policies, and inequality and poverty. The goals of the course are (1) to introduce students to the way economists approach policy problems, (2) introduce students to some of the canonical models of microeconomics, and (3) help students develop the skills to apply these models to new policy problems.

The lecturer will teach a required course about human development in social context. This course provides an overview of major theoretical, conceptual, and empirical traditions in the study of human development. It explores how diverse cultural, social, socioeconomic, and historical contexts interact to affect individuals and families during key developmental periods, including infancy/early childhood, childhood, adolescence, emerging adulthood, and middle and late adulthood. The course critically examines the enduring effects of social policy, political/social climate, and structural and economic inequality related to race, nationality, gender, sexuality and health status on human development and well-being across the life-course.
PUB AFF 113. Policy Analysis
(Winter 2024 or Spring 2024)
The lecturer will teach an upper-division course on applied policy analysis. The course reviews the conceptional foundations of problem analysis, trains students in the logic of policy analysis, introduces students to various tools (such as cost-benefit analysis) that are useful in policy analysis, considers challenges to policy and program adoption and implementation, and prepares students to communicate their analyses effectively.
In addition to the above courses, the Undergraduate Program in Public Affairs will consider applications for part-time lectureships (Non-Senate) in others areas of Public Affairs not specified above. Appointments are generally made by quarter for the following term dates:
