Critical Pedagogy: Teaching History in the College Classroom (Half-Term)

This class is designed to help prepare students for university teaching. The focus of this course is both practical and theoretical. In our interrogation of teaching and learning practices we cover critical scholarship on the academy and the exclusions and limitations of higher education. Students are asked to consider the purposes and challenges of teaching college courses, and to evaluate diverse approaches to university education. Some of our readings are primarily instructional and are designed to offer guidance on some "best practices" for becoming an effective history educator.
