About

APSA’s Teaching and Learning Specialist Group was established to promote the teaching of politics, policy, international relations and related disciplines. The group aims to bring together academics and practitioners to strengthen the teaching of politics. The group will encourage the development and distribution of evidence about best practice teaching methods; and encourage the creation of resources to support the teaching and learning about politics, public policy, and international relations in Australia.
