Today’s conversation is with Dr. Eric Leonard, Professor of Political Science and Henkle Family Chair in International Affairs at Shenandoah University. Eric has run Shenandoah’s General Education Program and edited a textbook for teaching International Relations Theory.
Our conversation
· Explores how flipped classroom techniques can help undergraduate students of all levels energize their learning.
· Unpacks assessment structures that transparently focus both instructor and student attention on learning how to learn rather than nuances of global politics.
· And challenges the academic hierarchies between scholarship and teaching that can leave those of us who devote significant energies to the latter feeling insufficiently part of our discipline.
