Teaching at Columbia University for more than two decades, Sharyn O’Halloran focuses on political economics. As a professor, Sharyn O’Halloran actively educates herself on the topic by participating in events hosted by the American Political Science Association (APSA).
February 12 marks the first day of the 2016 APSA Teaching and Learning Conference in Portland, Oregon. For three days, attendees will hear presentations and discuss trends related to the theme of “Rethinking the Way We Teach: High-Impact Methods in the Classroom” at the Marriott Portland Downtown Waterfront.
APSA aims to coordinate sessions on online education, simulations, civic engagement, and the inclusive classroom. In addition, courses on integrating technology into hybrid courses and teaching democratic theory in modern society may be included. To create an interactive experience, the association plans to host hands-on workshops as well, one of which will cover the 2016 elections.
