GPSA 2020 Teaching & Learning Consortium

Online: Nov. 11-13

Zooming from One Lecture to the Next: Political Science Pedagogy in the Age of COVID-19.

The political science classroom changed dramatically in the waning months of Winter, 2020.  Due to the outbreak and subsequent global spread of COVID-19, universities across the world, and here in Georgia, closed campus doors and moved operations fully online.  This included converting fully seated, synchronous, campus courses to online, asynchronous instruction in a matter of a week or two.  Due to this unprecedented mid-semester shift in delivery, much can be learned from our collective experiences and such information can be used to prepare for future situations that may make such changes again necessary.

We invite and encourage faculty, independent scholars, practitioners, and graduate students to submit their SoTL research on this delivery change, or any other topic in regard to political science pedagogy, for discussion and review at the 51st Annual Georgia Political Science Conference, Teaching & Learning Consortium, to be held virtually Nov. 11-13, 2020.  Papers will be accepted from all fields of Political Science, History, Criminal Justice, Psychology, Sociology and all other related disciplines. Once presented, scholars and faculty members are encouraged to submit their papers for publication consideration in our peer-edited conference proceedings of the Teaching & Learning Consortium.

This year we ask you to submit your proposal directly to the SoTL Coordinator, Joshua Meddaugh. The deadline for submission of proposals is October 4, 2020. Applicants will be notified of acceptance by October 11, 2020
