Jamie Frueh (ed). 2020. Pedagogical Journeys through World Politics. London: Palgrave Macmillan.

Abstract

In recent decades, scholars of International Relations have paid increasing attention to the pedagogical development of the discipline. The latest landmark contribution to this discussion is the collection Pedagogical Journeys through World Politics, edited by Jamie Frueh, which brings together 23 authors from a variety of institutions to discuss their teaching and learning experiences. Employing a unique autobiographical form, reading the collected essays is an intensely personal experience. Whether we are confronting urgency through the lively prose of Naeem Inayatullah’s polemic against teaching, or following Eric Leonard’s unexpected journey to a professorship (and the important lessons about teaching to be gained along the way), the unique style of this volume offers a kaleidoscope of teaching experiences.
