History and the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning for Today’s Students

Abstract

The discipline of history has an intimate and enduring relationship with the scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL). Historians were among the movement’s founders in the 1990s, and since then several have been in the vanguard of innovative research and practice in teaching, learning, and assessment. In this session, scholars, all associated with history SoTL, will lay out a variety of positions and provocations about best practice and possible futures with a view to stimulating constructive dialogue, debate, and difference. Subjects will include (but will certainly not be limited to) decolonizing the curriculum, decoding the disciplines, and the digital humanities.
