<p>The American Political Science Association is currently calling for <a href="http://www.apsanet.org/content_31632.cfm?navID=206" target="_blank">paper and panel proposals</a> for its annual Teaching &amp; Learning Conference, to be held  17-19 February 2012 in Washington DC. As always, the TLC includes a track on <a href="http://www.apsanet.org/content_65615.cfm" target="_blank">simulations and roleplay</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Simulations and Role Play<br />
</strong>Simulations and role play exercises help political scientists and students model the decision making processes of real-world political actors. Examples of these teaching techniques and strategies include Model United Nations, Model European Union, in-class self designed simulations, and on-line role playing exercises. Papers in this track will address such topics as: in what way can simulations and role-play expand student learning opportunities in political science? Which formats are most effective? and How do we measure the effectiveness of simulations?</p></blockquote>
<p>Proposals are due on or before <strong>September 23</strong>—you will find more information at the first link above.</p>
