Some of my fave events I get to plan are these teaching & learning symposia! Small groups, workshopping teaching resources. This summer: Civic Education & America's 250th (in-person in DC just before the actual 250th), Sports & Politics (virtual), Teaching in the Age of AI (virtual). Take a look!

Check out @devoncantwell.bsky.social’s super informative thread about APSA’s grad student status committee and its emergency support fund. If you have a few dollars to donate, it goes to a great cause. Donate here (scroll to selecr graduate student support grant members.apsanet.org/donate-now

Not up for a multi-day workshop (see previous post), but still curious to hear how others are approaching teaching American Politics during these times. Check out this superstar webinar on June 5.

Do you teach Intro to American Politics? Want to work on how to teach it during *gestures broadly at everything*? Consider applying to this virtual small group workshop. Resulting resources will be shared on APSA Educate for wider use.

I need to know if he's a "beef with" or "beef minus" guy @ Portillo's?

This resource page highlights scholarship on authoritarianism, democratic back-sliding, democracy, and the US democratic crisis, as well as resources on academic freedom, advocacy, and teaching resources. There's a form for sharing additional resources as we intend for this to be a dynamic document

"Does he look like he works in middle-management at a medium-sized corporate firm, he likes to grill on the weekend, and tells his family 'looks like we got here at the right time' when the line gets long behind them? Perfect."

And for folks wondering, the large number of recipients means it has to be rolled out, so if you are or have recently been an APSA member (I think within 3 years), you should get it sometime today.

My love for teaching conferences isn’t limited to APSA stuff. This is a great addition to ISA for folks looking for a place to talk about teaching.

Yes! Please fill it out, even if you don’t think you’ve been personally impacted. We really want to know what people are experiencing #polisky

Are you a political science graduate student studying one of these 6 topics and you have a dissertation chapter ready for feedback? Please consider applying for one of these dissertation workshops - a great chance to work closely with 2 co-facilitators and a very small group of(6-8) of your peers.

If you're a graduate student in political science, even if you're not applying this year, this is a great chance to learn all the things about the DDRIG.

I didn’t take many pictures this weekend at #APSATLC2025. But it was an amazing few days with some of my favorite people in #polisky. And so lucky to work with great folks at APSA who make this all happen.

TLC at APSA

As you're procrastinating on your APSA25 submissions (we don't judge), check out TLC at APSA! It's a great one-day mini-conference focused on teaching held on Sat during the annual meeting. Submissions to TLC at APSA don't count towards conference participation limits.
