摘要
在英国高等教育中教授美国研究意味着什么?我们在课堂、模块和学位课程中教授“美国”内容,但我们是否也以专门针对美国研究的方式进行教学?Lee Shulman将“签名教学法”描述为“当我们第一次考虑为特定职业的成员做准备时,我们脑海中闪现的教学形式”,包括我们在课堂上进行的教学类型以及支撑这种实践的假设和价值观。在2021年的数字BAAS会议上,莉迪亚·普拉斯(Lydia Plath)代表美国研究教学网络(Teaching American studies Network)组织了一次关于英国美国研究标志性教学法概念的初步讨论,当时正值一场全球大流行,要求我们所有人反思我们的教学实践。在先前对话的基础上,这次交流于2022年2月至7月进行。讨论通过支撑我们教学的假设、信念和价值观探索美国研究的教学方法;多学科和跨学科的挑战;以及身份、包容和国家背景的问题。
Exchange: A Signature Pedagogy for American Studies in the UK
What does it mean to teach American studies in UK higher education? We teach “American” content in our classes, modules, and degree programmes, but do we also conduct our teaching in ways specific to American studies? Lee Shulman describes a “signature pedagogy” as “the forms of instruction that leap to mind when we first think about the preparation of members of particular professions,” encompassing both the types of teaching we conduct in our classrooms and the assumptions and values that underpin that practice. Initial conversations about the concept of a signature pedagogy for American studies in the UK were held in a session organized by Lydia Plath on behalf of the Teaching American Studies Network at the Digital BAAS Conference in 2021, in the midst of a global pandemic that required all of us to reflect on our teaching practice. Building on that earlier conversation, this exchange was conducted between February and July 2022. The discussion explores American studies pedagogical approaches through the assumptions, beliefs, and values that underpin our teaching; the challenges of multi- and interdisciplinarity; and questions of identity, inclusion, and national context.
期刊介绍:
Journal of American Studies seeks to critique and interrogate the notion of "America", pursuing this through international perspectives on the history, literature, politics and culture of the United States. The Journal publishes original peer-reviewed research and analysis by established and emerging scholars throughout the world, considering US history, politics, literature, institutions, economics, film, popular culture, geography, sociology and related subjects in domestic, continental, hemispheric, and global contexts. Its expanded book review section offers in-depth analysis of recent American Studies scholarship to promote further discussion and debate.
