The College Lecture Today makes the affirmative case for the lecture in the social sciences and humanities. Aimed at teachers, students, and administrators who want to improve teaching at their universities, this book explores how to lecture without sacrificing theoretical knowledge.
In an age of online education and educational philosophies like “flipping the classroom,” does the lecture have any role in today’s university? Drawing from the humanities and social sciences and from a range of different types of schools, The College Lecture Today makes the affirmative case for the lecture in the humanities and social and political sciences. These essays explore how to lecture without sacrificing theoretical knowledge.
