Building an Inclusive Syllabus: webinar & resources

This Wednesday, October 27, 2021, APSA event featured expert panelists providing practical tips and suggestions for political science educators to deliberately build a classroom environment where all students have equal access to knowledge. The discussion also highlighted tools to build courses that are representative of the contributions of historically excluded scholars, and assignments or activities that present crucial introductory political science content to an increasingly diverse undergraduate student body, as well as strategies senior scholars, departments, universities, and associations can pursue to support political science educators already doing and interested in pursuing inclusive teaching practices. A brief review of this webinar was published in the February 2022 edition of Political Science Today. You may read “Tools to Expand Political Science Education,” by Jasmine Scott and Bennett Grubbs, here.
