Mary Gallagher receives 2022 Metrick Family Creativity and Collaboration in Curriculum Award
April 29, 2022
Mary Gallagher received the Metrick Award for her sustained efforts to strengthen and revamp Introduction to Comparative Politics. This year’s version of the course has been designed to include active learning exercises that engage students in the material and supplement traditional lectures with simulations and discussion. As Mary notes, “students leave the class more confident in their abilities to understand world events, to make sense of politics in places they may never visit, and to engage in politics in their own country with a better sense of the alternatives elsewhere.” Congratulations, Mary!
