Review "William Sokoloffs Political Science Pedagogy: A Critical, Radical and Utopian Perspective, while grounded in a critical assessment of teaching methods for political theory, constitutes an exciting intervention into wider discussions of classroom practices relevant for both political science and the social sciences in general. … This book represents an important corrective to the many democratic deficiencies within contemporary political science pedagogy, and should receive a wide audience." (Jason Kosnoski, New Political Science, December 6, 2022)"In the world of global pandemic, instructors are doing a lot of thinking and talking about our pedagogy. William W. Sokoloffs book challenges us to think and talk about why we became teachers inthe first place, and what we are hoping to accomplish by teaching. Sokoloff believes that political science educators have lost sight of what our mission should be, and his book is an attempt to help us recover that mission." (Edward W. Clayton, Journal of Political Science Education, September 11, 2020)"Sokoloffs intensity is a virtue as it serves to emphasize the importance of his subject matter, but it also proves a significant barrier to drawing in new allies who would benefit from considering his conclusions." (Steven Orr, Contemporary Political Theory, May 28, 2020) Review Quote "In the world of global pandemic, instructors are doing a lot of thinking and talking about our pedagogy. William W.
