International relations theory, US foreign policy, and ethics are his major areas of specialization. 

Guests and faculty members from both sides attended the co-teaching class

Prof. Dr. Anthony Teitler has demonstrated the diverse of feminism in international relations. He examines the genesis and evolution of feminism, as well as how these ideas have become increasingly important to international relations viewpoints following the conclusion of the Cold War period.

Moreover, his presentation looks at how feminist theories use gender as a socially constructed category to critique the categories and hierarchies that exist in global politics. There is also a range of feminist approaches touched upon such as liberal, constructivist, critical theory, etc.

 The co-teaching class was instructed by Prof. Dr. Anthony Teitler

 Students of the two universities introduced themselves and gave their regards to new classmates

The Co-teaching class gives students (particularly sophomores and seniors formally beginning their specialized courses) the opportunity to experience the international environment. Students will also develop used to cutting-edge learning techniques, take greater initiative in their studies, gain information from foreign lecturers, and interact with peers across the globe.

Some contents in the co-teaching class

According to Ms. Le Phuong Cat Nhi, a faculty member of International Relations shared some comments: “An International Relations Theories class at Karls lasted about 5-6 hours, so all students had to prepare their lessons ahead of time in order to keep up with the teaching progress as well as actively participate in-class activities. It's the most effective approach for students to become accustomed to taking charge of their learning and gaining valuable experience. They also had the opportunity to learn about Prof. Dr. Teitler's innovative teaching approaches”.

She also stated that she gained a lot from Prof. Dr. Teitler during the co-teaching session, including his teaching style and ability to translate exceedingly complex and theoretical concepts into clear and accessible ones. She was pleased to see UEFers actively participating in the lesson; in fact, some of them expressed a desire for the class to the last longer.
