Teaching political science can be challenging for many reasons. For this special issue of the Journal of Political Science Education, we are looking for submissions (systematic quantitative or qualitative studies, case studies, or reflections) that investigate how political science educators can deal with a variety of explosive issues that arise in classroom discussions as well as explosive issues that are at the core of syllabi in political science.
If you are interested in submitting a manuscript, or have questions or suggestions, please contact the editors at jpse@apsanet.org.
Submissions are due Wednesday, March 1, 2017.
