Teaching Symposia

Centennial Center Teaching & Learning Symposia

APSA’s Teaching & Learning Symposia, three-day events held at APSA’s headquarters in Washington, DC, provide a unique opportunity for faculty with similar teaching interests to present on timely substantive issues in the field, share best practices, and develop new teaching resources. In the coming year, the Center will host three symposia focusing on topics related to political theory, research methods for undergraduates, and comparative politics.

The second symposium, focused on teaching political science research methods to undergraduates, and led by Mitchell Brown (Auburn University) and Biko Koenig (Franklin & Marshall College), will be held March 14-16, 2019. The submission window is now closed. Please check back for information about the next symposium focused on teaching comparative politics.
