"Teaching Sociology: Sharing Pedagogical Practices"

Higher education is changing. People are adopting all sorts of innovations. The classroom and online education are not what they once were. We are sure that many of our readers have developed exciting new ways to convey information to students. We are now inviting you to share these.  

Both full length papers and teaching notes are welcome. Teaching notes summarize a teaching approach, technique, exercise, or assignment. Teaching notes should be approximately 15 pages.

Full length articles go beyond the teaching note summary and are based on research evaluation, analysis, theory and assessment. Full length articles should be approximately 25 pages.

Please submit your manuscripts at http://digitalcommons.kennesaw.edu/jpps/ 

The Summer 2019 edition of Semaphore is now online. It includes the call for papers for the 2019 GSA conference.
