Annotated Bibliographies

Established journals (such as the Journal of Geography in Higher Education) provide forums for geographers to discuss contemporary concerns in educational practices, present educational research, and to advocate innovative pedagogical practices. While drawing from these established sources, we also found materials from other sources in peer-reviewed publications and grey literature that informed our work. We have created a public reading list for most of the literature we found, but we also have have created several annotated bibliographies of resources that we found useful for exploring the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SOTL) in relation to pedagogy within the discipline of geography and to the institutional contexts in which we teach and learn. See the below links to access these resources.
