Event Poster

Thinking about how best to prepare students for careers in the public and broader public service has meant a lot of experimentation with pedagogical approaches. Learning by doing has become better known as experiential education. This talk will focus on 20 years of teaching in public administration, and innovative ways of bringing research and scholarship together with practice in such a way as to bring learning to life, and to better prepare students to transition to careers in public service.

Dr. Peter P. Constantinou is a Sessional Assistant Professor in the School of Public Policy and administration. He has worked as a civil servant, a political advisor, a lobbyist and college and university administrator.
