Are you in your first years of teaching at the university level? Have you ever wondered about the standard practices for teaching art history—or questioned whether there is such a thing? Do you struggle to teach a critical art history that is also accessible to intro-level learners? Want to discuss these issues with colleagues and hear their advice and perspectives?

If any of these questions ring true, then we have a lot in common. Hi, I’m Forrest Pelsue, the producer and host of the Art History And Pedagogy podcast. As a PhD student and teaching fellow at the City University of New York, I have a lot of questions. So I started this podcast to try and get some answers, or at least to think through these questions with the exceptional CUNY art history community.

Over the next few months, tune in as I interview guests from across CUNY campuses for their tips, tricks, and trials while teaching the sprawling, wonderful, thorny topic of art history in undergraduate classrooms across the five boroughs.

And of course, if you have any thoughts, questions, or comments, get in touch!
