Welcome to Professor Sweeney's CCSF homepage.

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 courses at community colleges since 2009. The courses that I teach include American Government, Comparative Government, International Relations 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 .

At CCSF, I serve on the Distance Education (DEA) sub-committee of the Curriculum Committee and the Pathways Committee. I have received training by the American College and University Educators (ACUE), earning the Certificate in Effective Teaching Practices in 2018. In 2019, I co-facilitated a cohort of CCSF faculty taking the year long ACUE course. I have also worked with the OEI Course Design Academy and my American Government online course received OEI certification. Additionally, I am a member of the American Political Science Association.

When not teaching, I enjoy swimming competitively for a Master's swim team, running in Golden Gate park, coaching my sons' soccer teams, trying out new recipes and drinking coffee!
