Call for Nominations: The Gerner Award for Innovative Teaching

The Deborah Gerner Innovative Teaching in International Studies Award award honors the legacy of Misty Gerner as not only a fine scholar, but also as a passionate and dedicated teacher and mentor. To carry her memory and mission forward, Rowman & Littlefield Publishers and the editorial board of the New Millennium Books in International Studies series have established a Deborah “Misty” Gerner Innovative Teaching in International Studies Award, which would be granted annually to an instructor who has developed effective new approaches to teaching in the discipline. Examples could include innovative case studies, teaching software, and simulations. Preference will be given to materials that can be easily adapted by other instructors. In keeping with Misty’s interests and commitments and the goals of the New Millennium Book Series, emphasis will be on pedagogy that engages students with issues of war, peace, identity, sovereignty, security, and sustainability—economic, environmental, or ethical—as they are evolving in the 21st century. The deadline for nominations  is October 15th.
