PROPOSALS DUE BY MAY 15, 2021

 

Organized by the Humanities Pedagogy Collective (Sponsored by Stanford Center for Teaching & Learning and School of Humanities & Sciences)

 

CONFERENCE OVERVIEW

Because humanities-based disciplines emphasize discussion, critical thinking, and ethical exploration, educators often design courses and experiences that exist at the very forefront of widely-acknowledged best practices in critical pedagogies (Karpenko and Dietz 2016). But, since such practices are almost inseparable from what makes humanities-based study so compelling, educators often struggle to characterize the pedagogies that define their own disciplines, what Shulman (2005) terms “signature” pedagogies. Instead, signature humanities pedagogies remain implicit, modelled to students but seldom explicitly articulated ......until now! 

 

Join the Humanities Pedagogy Collective in this unique and highly interactive virtual conference to

• Excavate signature pedagogies found in different humanities disciplines

• Identify core practices across humanities pedagogy

• Develop terminology and criteria for assessing student learning

• Collaborate with other humanities educators to create new resources

• Feel empowered articulating the distinctive skills and values imparted through humanities education
