• TGQF American Political & Social Thought Community of Practice Community of Practice

    Keep the conversation going after finishing the Course Redesign Institute in American Political and Social Thought. The APST Community of Practice brings faculty together to share what happens when discussion-based and question-centered approaches move from the workshop into real classrooms. Participants will have opportunities to reconnect with colleagues, exchange practical teaching ideas, share what is working, and troubleshoot challenges collaboratively. Meetings will be held online about once a month during the 2026–2027 academic year and will be shaped by participants' interests and experiences.
