Call for Papers Using a working-group model, the conference is a forum to develop models on teaching and learning as well as to discuss broad themes and values affecting political science education. The meeting will consist of 12 tracks* constructed around these themes:

Individuals interested in applying to present should submit a substantive proposal on an idea or model for teaching and learning in political science as it relates to one of the themes listed above. We especially welcomed papers that incorporate methods of assessment, the use of technology, strategies for professional development, original research, and innovations in diversity and inclusiveness.
