For Pedagogy and Profession’s second issue, the editors invite submissions on #MeToo; for the third issue, we invite “Open Topic” submissions.
Pedagogy and Profession is a peer-reviewed, open-access journal housed at the New Chaucer Society website.
We seek submissions from a wide range of contributors, including primary- and secondary-school educators and independent scholars. We are particularly interested in essays that are immediately concerned with usefulness, to readers across institutions and non-institutional settings. Some areas for inquiry might include
teaching medieval literature in a General Education curriculum;
teaching medieval literature in a primary- or secondary-school content;
recruiting graduate students for the study of medieval literature;
the impact of curricular change on medieval courses;
issues of hiring, tenure and promotion;
the workings ofo professional organizations, journals, and conferences;
graduate training for a shrinking number of academic jobs;
outreach to the public and to colleagues in other disciplines;
strategies for equity and inclusivity in teaching, recruiting, and hiring; and
strategies for addressing or rectifying such institutional constraints as budgets and criteria for tenure.
We also welcome collaborative essays or responses unified around a single topic.
Essays should be around 3000 words.
For consideration in Issue 2 (scheduled to appear 15 March 2021) or Issue 3 (scheduled to appear 1 July 2021), please submit essays by 1 September 2020 to ncs.pedagogyandprofession at gmail.com.
