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 third symposium, focused on teaching comparative politics, and led by Laura Seay (Colby College) and Julie George (Queens College and The Graduate Center, CUNY) will be held June 3-5, 2019. More information and application details can be found here. The deadline to apply is April 26, 2019.
