Abstract	This study brings together insights from the Science Education Initiative with a new course, "Spy Novel Diplomacy: Propaganda and International Relations," which has been taught as a General Education Seminar for first year students. The class will continue on an annual basis from the spring semester of 2020 onward. Thus what follows is a combination of the Science Education Initiative with innovative teaching that incorporates literature. After an overview, work proceeds in five additional sections. The first section summarizes the Science Education Initiative and considers its potential for more expansive implementation. Ideas from that venture are identified for adoption in the new course on Spy Novel Diplomacy. The second section explores the potential value from works of fiction and visualization in the International Relations classroom. Section three introduces the new course on Spy Novel Diplomacy, connecting at a general level with innovative teaching techniques. Section four applies insights from the Science Education Initiative to the class in specific ways. The fifth and final section reflects on the Spy Novel Diplomacy course in relation to the Science Education Initiative, along with future directions in pedagogy. (As Provided).
