Edited Volumes
I have been a co-editor of multiple edited volumes, two of which have been published. Forthcoming projects will be posted here as available.
Murphy, Michael P.A. and Misbah Hyder. 2024. Teaching Political Science and International Relations for Early Career Instructors. Palgrave Macmillan. (Political Pedagogies Series)
In doctoral programs, graduate students are often encouraged to prioritize their research over teaching. This leads many early career scholars to identify primarily with the role of researcher. This edited collection introduces the term “early career instructor” (ECI) as a novel concept in understanding the experience of graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, early tenure-track, contingent faculty, and other scholars early in their teaching careers. Including a diverse array of authors, this volume brings together essays on ECI experiences in different institutional and national contexts as well as reflections on current practices for ECI support and mentorship. At a higher level, this volume is also a call-to-action to recognize the importance of teaching in the early career stage.

Frueh, Jamie, Jacquie Ala, Michael P.A. Murphy, and Paul Diehl. 2024. The Palgrave Handbook on the Pedagogy of International Relations Theory. Palgrave Macmillan. (Political Pedagogies Series)
The Palgrave Handbook on the Pedagogy of International Relations Theory is a collection that explores how best to teach the systems of thought that organize the study of international relations and global politics. All chapters document and advance intradisciplinary conversations about the challenge of helping students understand the nuances of IR theory. Authors document strategies they have successfully applied to that challenge in a variety of contexts and encourage readers to creatively adapt to the challenges of their own pedagogical contexts. The handbook is organized around four themes – teaching theory for particular audiences and classroom contexts, tips for teaching specific theories, an exploration of pedagogical approaches to teaching theory, and pedagogical considerations specific to courses in geographic regions.
