This month’s episode is with Dr. Anahita Arian, a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the Centre for Geopolitics and a College Research Associate at King’s College at Cambridge University in the UK. Among other positions in Europe, Latin America and the Middle East, Anahita has taught International Relations at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands and at the University of Erfurt in Germany. She is the author of a forthcoming chapter on teaching Non-Western IR theory that will appear in the Palgrave Handbook of the Pedagogy of IR Theory.

The episode explores:

• How teaching theoretical pluriversality requires significantly different approaches than teaching a focused canon.
• The importance of teaching students how to wrestle with the emotions studying global politics can evoke.
• Pedagogical tactics for improving that emotional intelligence in three overlapping phases.

The interview was edited for length.
