Teaching

Amiya's teaching experiences range from developing an online course in gobal child protection to teaching global health in Harvard College to being involved with courses for masters and doctoral students at the Harvard T.H.Chan School of Public Health on measuring health inequalities and on theories of disease distribution. These teaching opportunities have taught Amiya to review and develop syllabi, guest lecture, led section, develop and grade papers and problem sets, and create inclusive classroom environments.

Amiya has been awarded the Harvard University Bok Center Certificate of Distinction four times for teaching in spring 2015, fall 2015, fall 2016, and fall 2017.
