CFP: The Interpretation of Learning

From Stephen Bloch-Schulman and Sherry Lee Linkon:

We propose to edit a collection of exemplary SoTL work based in the arts and humanities, The Interpretation of Learning.  We are soliciting unpublished articles of two kinds:  1) essays on how the theories and methods in the arts and humanities can be adapted to SoTL and 2) analyses of students’ learning in these disciplines that self-consciously demonstrate such approaches. 

The book will serve two primary purposes.  First, it will offer, through both commentary and example, an articulation of the issues, challenges, and qualities of problems involved in using arts and humanities approaches to analyze student learning. Second, it will advance conversations among scholars in these fields about the nature and process of student learning in disciplines where learning often focuses on new ways of thinking rather than on expanded bodies of content knowledge. By pursuing these two goals, the book will accomplish yet another outcome: it will make a case for the value of arts-and-humanities approaches to the scholarship of teaching and learning.

Please send proposals (up to 750 words) for this volume to Stephen Bloch-Schulman, sschulman@elon.edu, by September 30, 2012.

Accepted articles to be no more than 7000 words, completed by March 29, 2013.
