Media Presentations as a Strategy for Teaching African Politics

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

Student media presentations can deepen students’ knowledge of African politics, build their critical thinking and communication skills, and highlight the relevance of course material. This article presents the media assignment I have used in two upper-level courses, African Politics and Politics of Gender and Sexuality in Africa, and three examples of student work.
