BECOME A MENTOR OR FIND A MENTOR APSA recognizes the importance of mentoring for effective career development and professional integration. To this end, the APSA Task Force on Mentoring developed a mentoring process administered by APSA to connect interested graduate students and faculty with political scientists in the field who are available for mentorship to counsel on matters of the profession. In addition, APSA has compiled a list of mentoring resources for students seeking a mentor, and for senior faculty and others who want more information on mentoring.
TEACHING POLITICAL VIOLENCE AND TERRORISM The APSA Task Force on Political Violence and Terrorism compiled a bibliography of political science resources and a set of syllabi for model courses (and units within courses) on political violence and terrorism for secondary school and college levels. See:
Please send syllabi that you wish to share with a wider community to David Mason (masontd@unt.edu) with a copy to David Laitin (dlaitin@stanford.edu).
