Welcome to AHA Pedagogy, the Art History And Pedagogy podcast. I’m your host, Forrest Pelsue. I’m a PhD student in Art History at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York, or as we call it, CUNY. 

As part of my graduate studies, I am also working as a teaching fellow, which involves leading my very own undergraduate survey of art history class. This experience has raised a lot of questions for me about what it means to teach art history at a public university in the 21st century, and if you’re here then maybe you have some of the same questions.

Join me for the first season of the podcast, where I pose some of the questions I’ve been struggling with to professors at the Graduate Center and invite their advice, feedback, tips, and tricks.

Topics include:

• Teaching three-dimensional objects in the classroom
• Is there a “CUNY style” of art history pedagogy?
• How and why to teach the canon
• Building relationships with your students
• Including more fun and games in the classroom
