Today Dr. Vinicius de Carvalho, a visiting scholar from the Brazil Institute at King’s College in London, and I co-taught a case study on Brazil as an example of an emerging economy and a contentious democracy in three consecutive classes of GLS102 Comparative Government and Politics. With nearly full attendance and at times quite lively debate, I think we offered our students a valuable learning opportunity. And personally I learned a lot by teaching in a team. It was a real pleasure.
