Today’s conversation is with Petra Hendrickson and Daisy Lupa. Petra is an Assistant Professor of Political Science at, and Daisy a 2022 graduate of, Northern Michigan University in the United States. Petra has published on student engagement, and she and Daisy together presented a workshop at the Innovative Pedagogy Conference that preceded the 2022 International Studies Association Conference in Nashville, Tennessee. This is the first time the podcast has had both instructor and student together to explain a strategy for teaching and learning global politics.
Our conversation covers
· Strategies for getting students over the hurdles that too often keep them from engaging both material - that can often be depressing - and faculty members - who can often be intimidating
· Board games as teaching tools of global political concepts and processes
· How engaging students in non-traditional active learning techniques can achieve teaching goals that go beyond the course content for any particular day.
