Call for essays on Teaching Methodologies in the Humanities and 
Sciences, for
publication as a special section in Academic Exchange Quarterly 10 no 2 
(Summer
2006). Guest Editor, Jennifer Way, Associate Professor, Art History,

faculty are especially welcomed. For details, including instructions for

Deadline: end of February 2006. Early submission is encouraged.

Papers may explore any of the following themes or suggest others: What do
methodologies courses contributing to the various disciplines of the 
humanities
and sciences share? How are we using methodologies to prepare students 
not only
to work within but also across disciplines and also across the 
humanities and
sciences? How are changes in disciplines constituting the humanities and
sciences respectively impacting methodologies courses? For example, in the
humanities, what is the impact of revisions to or the jettisoning of 
canons, or
of the increased importance of theory in scholarship? How do methodologies
courses in the humanities and sciences respectively deal with the 
multiplication
of research materials in this age of ever-burgeoning information? In an era
of multidisciplinarity, how do they address the multiplication of research
methods? Are methodologies courses providing foundational preparation for
proceeding to more advanced study in specific disciplines or in area, 
inter- and
cross- disciplinary programs or cognates consisting of newly formed 
associations
between long-standing and more recently configured fields? What 
contributions
are methodologies courses expected to make to undergraduate and graduate
programs? Are methodologies courses emphasizing intellectual content as 
distinct
from or to the exclusion of teaching or practical information about 
professional
practice? How do methodologies courses evaluate student learning? Are
methodologies courses being asked to shoulder additional responsibilities in
preparing and evaluating students, given the increasing institutional 
interest
in and expectations regarding the evaluation of student learning? How does a
department determine who teaches its methodologies courses?
