Submit Proposals

Join us for the 17th APSA Teaching & Learning Conference (TLC), “Teaching Political Science Matters.” The conference will take place February 7-9, 2025, in Alexandria, Virginia.

We welcome proposals from educators at all levels who teach political science and related subjects—university faculty and administrators, high school teachers, graduate students, research scholars, and others.

The submission system is closed.


Submission Options

There are three presentation format options for the 2025 Teaching and Learning Conference: track panels, workshops, and roundtables.

  • All track papers are presented in a collaborative environment, with materials shared in advance and all participants serving as discussants.
  • Workshops provide participants with hands-on experience in the use of practical instructional methods that they can take with them to their home institutions.
  • Roundtables facilitate participants to discuss and debate on a specific topic. Workshop and roundtable attendance is not determined by track, and these sessions are open to any conference attendee.
