Happy New Year, all! We are back with our first SoTL Roundup of 2026. If you aren’t already familiar with the SoTL Roundup, each month (as the name implies), I’ll be scrolling through Journal of Political Studies Education, Politics, PS: Political Science & Politics, International Studies Perspectives, and European Political Science to bring to you, cherished ALPS reader, the latest SoTL publications.
