Welcome! My name's Andrew and I'm a professor at Dartmouth College.
Over the past eight years, I've had the privilege to teach a series of courses on media, popular culture, politics, gender, technology, and the Middle East that have consistently received "excellent" reviews from students. These discussion-driven classes presume no background knowledge and invite students to think in a critical, creative, and comparative manner, providing them with invaluable, lifelong skills.

Welcome! My name's Andrew and I'm a professor at Dartmouth College.
Over the past eight years, I've had the privilege to teach a series of courses on media, popular culture, politics, gender, technology, and the Middle East that have consistently received "excellent" reviews from students. These discussion-driven classes presume no background knowledge and invite students to think in a critical, creative, and comparative manner, providing them with invaluable, lifelong skills.
Outside of these courses, I have served as a mentor for a diverse student body. I have advised several award-winning research projects, whose authors went on to attend graduate school at Oxford, Harvard, and Duke, often on full scholarships. I've also assisted students in publishing their original research in academic journals and on public platforms. Beyond Dartmouth, I've worked with high school students on projects that pique their intellectual curiosity, enhance their critical thinking, and bolster their writing. Mentoring is one of the most fulfilling aspects of my job.
Here, I would welcome the chance to support students at all stages of their educational journeys in pursuing research projects that matter to them and assisting students in crafting effective college admissions essays. If either of these pursuits are of interest to you, please don't hesitate to reach out!
Before I became a professor at Dartmouth, I grew up in Connecticut. My senior year in high school, I took an Arabic class that changed my life. At Duke, I continued to study Arabic and enrolled in courses on Middle East politics, culture, and history. After never having traveled outside of the U.S. before college, I studied abroad every summer.
Upon graduating, I enrolled in an Arabic fellowship in Cairo that coincided with the Arab Spring. To make sense of the revolution I witnessed in Egypt, I entered a Ph.D. program at Cornell, where I began to write what would become an award-winning book on the politics and power of media in the Middle East.
