Description
Sage author and Political Science Professor Lisa Baglione, Ph.D., shares strategies for engaging today's diverse students in Introduction to Comparative Politics. Drawing from real-world examples, using sports analogies, incorporating film clips, and other scenarios, she is able to capture the interest of both majors and non-majors in her political science courses.
Dr. Baglione also discusses the importance of ensuring students can see themselves in politics, explaining how gender, ethnicity, and other identities intersect with power structures.
