The LSER faculty is renowned for its excellent teaching, real-world experience, and cutting-edge research. The department emphasizes teaching techniques that engage students in all programs (credit and continuing education) in active learning through small group discussions, simulations, in-class debates and more. Many of the faculty also have considerable real-world experience and are engaged in contemporary public service that informs their teaching and research and enables them to connect students with potential employers and intern placements. The faculty’s rich body of research on current topics of national and international importance is frequently cited by scholars and by policy-makers and other practitioners.
