Active Learning in Political Science for a Post-Pandemic World

This book features valuable conversations about how COVID-19 has changed how we teach and even who we are as instructors in political science. This project devotes special attention to how our pedagogy in political science has evolved from 'triage' to transformation over the course of the pandemic. This book, part of the Palgrave Macmillan Political Pedagogies series, presents a variety of innovations in political science teaching (from "ungrading" to the flipped classroom) and offers systematic reflections on how our approaches to teaching and learning have been forever changed.
