Drawing on my experience as a policy researcher and former school teacher, I approach teaching as a process of helping students connect abstract ideas to real institutional and social contexts. I facilitate learning experiences that emphasize dialogue, guided reflection, and sustained engagement with empirical cases, with the aim of helping students develop analytical skills they can carry beyond the classroom.
 

I have designed and taught graduate courses at the Harvard Graduate School of Education and undergraduate courses at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, working with students from diverse disciplinary and professional backgrounds. I have also served as a teaching fellow at the Monroe C. Gutman Library Writing Center at Harvard University, where I supported graduate students’ academic writing through structured brainstorming and feedback.

"His lecture style provided the perfect amount of information along with room for personal interpretation. This led to much more engaged learning and debates where we were able to explain more nuanced and personal perspectives."

"His classes were so well–planned and intentionally designed with diversity and equity in mind… He also was so good at recognizing the value in what someone was saying and teasing it out."

"Abhinav consistently provided specific probing feedback to push my thinking, even when the assignment wasn't necessarily for a grade. I also really appreciated the way he never just provided the 'right' answer during small group discussions. Instead, he pushed us to arrive at the answer for ourselves."
