APSA published a new book in February, Teaching Civic Engagement: From Student to Active Citizen, edited by Alison Rios Millett McCartney, Elizabeth A. Bennion, and Dick Simpson. Preface author Rick Battistoni notes the importance of the book as a timely resource to educate for political engagement and as the culmination of over a decade of work by political scientists and APSA. These include numerous conference events, papers, and articles, (many of which appear as chapters in this book), association-sponsored online activities and resources, and a special service learning section in the September 2000 PS. In the foreword, APSA executive director Michael Brintnall echoes Battistoni's assessment of the work as “a rich collection of research and innovative pedagogy that helps reaffirm APSA's voice in civic engagement and advances and reshapes the commitment with which the association began.” Brintnall notes that the book emerges in tandem with “the intellectual laboratory” of the annual APSA Teaching and Learning Conference, work of APSA committees on teaching and learning and civic education and engagement, the Alma Ostrom and Leah Hopkins Awan Civic Education Fund of the APSA Centennial Center, and other current related association activities.
