About the journal

Teaching in Higher Education is an international peer-reviewed academic journal, published eight times a year.  We publish scholarly work that critically examines and interrogates the values and presuppositions underpinning teaching, introduces theoretical perspectives and insights drawn from different disciplinary and methodological frameworks, and considers how teaching and research can be brought into a closer relationship.

The journal welcomes contributions that aim to develop sustained reflection, investigation and critique, and that critically identify new agendas for research, for example by:

  • examining the impact on teaching exerted by wider contextual factors such as policy, funding, institutional change and the expectations of society;
  • developing conceptual analyses of pedagogical issues and debates, such as authority, power, assessment and the nature of understanding;
  • exploring the various values which underlie teaching including those concerned with social justice and equity;
  • offering critical accounts of lived experiences of higher education pedagogies which bring together theory and practice.

Teaching in Higher Education offers a particular challenge to develop a discourse of teaching and learning which transcends disciplinary boundaries and specialisms whilst drawing upon the rigour of a range of disciplines and takes a view of learning which entails concepts of transformation and critique in relation to dominant traditions and visions. It will therefore appeal to those who wish to explore how such aims might be realised through a commitment to teaching in a variety of cultural and disciplinary contexts represented in higher education internationally.  If you are thinking about submitting an article to the journal, you may want to look at our page with tips on how to get your article accepted.
