HRIR 3071: Union Organizing and Labor Relations (Undergraduate Course, Carlson School of Management, 2024 Spring)
Teaching Overview
,
At the University of Minnesota, I have independently taught undergraduate courses in labor relations. My teaching integrates theoretical foundations with experiential learning through analyses of legal materials, debates on contemporary workplace issues, and simulations of collective bargaining and grievance procedures. I also bring union representatives, HR professionals, government officials, and labor arbitrators into the classroom to expose students to diverse stakeholder perspectives and career paths. Beyond labor relations, I have worked as a teaching assistant for a number of business courses such as Compensation and Benefits, Performance Management, Personnel Economics, Negotiations, and People Analytics. Together with my academic training, these experiences have prepared me to teach broadly across human resource management while offering specialized expertise in labor relations.
