Critique as a Signature Pedagogy in the Arts and Humanities: Further Discussion

Critique is a distinct pedagogy that is often a component of teaching and learning activities in many arts and humanities disciplines. This panel is a follow up to a panel session held during the 2014 ISSOTL conference  that discussed critique as a signature pedagogy in arts and humanities disciplines. Since the 2014 conference, the panelists, along with several other faculty at multiple institutions, have produced a special issue of Arts and Humanities in Higher Education on this topic. The process of creating the issue has deepened our understanding of the value of critique in arts and humanities courses and programs and created a more nuanced and sophisticated grasp of why critique is indeed a signature pedagogy of arts and humanities curriculum. Our goal with this panel is to share this new knowledge.
