Instructor Bio

My name is Megan Sweeney and I am a full time faculty member at City College of San Francisco. I have been teaching political science in community colleges since 2009. The courses that I teach include American Government, Comparative Government, International Relations, Political Theory, and Introduction to Public Policy. I have a MA in Political Science from SFSU with an emphasis in Comparative and American Politics and a BA in Political Science from Seattle University. My research interests include democratization, social movements, and public policy. In all of my classes, I emphasize the relevancy that politics plays in students’ lives, encourage civic engagement and utilize a student focused pedagogy in the classroom that includes a variety of active learning techniques.
