The world we are living in today is replete with complex problems. Students, as citizens and future researchers, should be able to understand the complexity of these problems and suggest feasible solutions. As a teacher, my goal is to encourage critical thinking and expose my students to various problem-solving strategies in the classroom so that they are adequately prepared to investigate urgent sociopolitical problems in the future

Student Comments
- “Juheon put a lot of effort into this course and it was clear he wanted us to learn. He pushed students to make a contribution and spent time getting to know us and our opinions. He cared about our feedback and what we thought about certain issues. Overall, a great guy and engaging professor” (Summer 2018)
- “Professor Lee obviously cares a lot about his students, and what they get out of the class. He took care in evaluating our performance on each assignment, and always gave us sufficient feedback” (Fall 2017)
- "I highly recommend taking this course. He consistently prompted class discussion and engaged the students in applying IR theory to current events. Definitely a favorite professor at Northeastern thus far!” (Spring 2018)
