Franziska Barbara Keller

Networks, Power, and Political Science

Assistant Professor, Division of Social Science, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology

At HKUST, I have taught "The World of Politics", a course consisting of lectures introducing Political Science to undergraduates, and "Introduction to Social Network Analysis", a course that combines lectures and lab sessions to teach undergraduates and other interested students how to analyze and visualize relational data. I have developed the syllabus for the latter based on my Social Network Analysis textbook published by SAGE.

My teaching statement explains my general approach to teaching methodological and substantive courses with varying class sizes, illustrated in this course proposal for an Introduction to Social Network Analysis for International Relations and Development Studies. A syllabus for a course on my main area of expertise, Social Network Analysis and authoritarian regimes, can be found here.
