Register Now! 2023 APSA Teaching & Learning Conference, Baltimore, MD, February 10-12

The 2023 APSA Teaching & Learning Conference invites attendees to engage in “Re-Energizing Political Science Education: Innovations and New Opportunities” at this year’s conference, at the Sheraton Inner Harbor Hotel, Baltimore, February 10-12, 2023.

The COVID-19 pandemic has taken a toll on the educational experience of students and teachers, exposing and widening pre-existing inequalities in higher education. As we navigate the post-COVID world and reimagine our classrooms, what are the lessons and innovations from the pandemic that faculty, colleges, and universities can continue integrating into political science education? How can we engage students, faculty, and communities? How can we make political science fun and relevant, and rediscover the joy of teaching?

Get a glimpse of past Teaching and Learning Conferences. 

The 2020 APSA Teaching & Learning Conference theme was “Teaching to Empower Students.” As students encounter an often tumultuous reality that includes an evolving academy, uncertain job markets, and an increasingly contentious political sphere, how can we empower them to thrive in their educational and individual pursuits and ensure that they are prepared to solve tomorrow’s problems? Specifically, what teaching and learning strategies can we employ to build the skills and confidence our students will need? 

The 2019 Joint TLC was a collaboration between APSA, the Political Studies Association (PSA), the British International Studies Association (BISA), and the European Consortium for Political Research (ECPR). It took place in Brighton, England from June 17-19, 2019. The conference aimed to provide a forum in which political science educators from different countries and contexts could come together to explore these challenges and share their experiences and teaching practices
