Transformations: The Journal of Inclusive Scholarship and Pedagogy special issue: Teaching Performance
Spring/Summer 2009
Transformations, a journal that invites college teachers to take pedagogy seriously as a topic of scholarly writing, is pleased to announce the publication of a special issue, Teaching Performance. Exploring how performance intersects with teaching, Teaching Performance provides educators with practical as well as theoretical tools on the pedagogy of performance.

• Emily Coates asks how performance can enable cross-cultural encounters
• The worn and failed spaces of universities come into the camera’s eye in a photo essay by Margaret Werry and Róisín O’Gorman.
