Welcome to the Art History Pedagogy & Practice hub on AHTR!  

Published by AHTR, Art History Pedagogy & Practice is an e-journal devoted to the scholarship of teaching and learning in art history, available on Academic Works, the Digital Commons repository for the City University of New York. Supported by funding from the Samuel H. Kress Foundation, AHTR undertook this initiative to establish an academic peer-reviewed journal in 2015 and launched its inaugural issue in Fall 2016. This project builds on the success of the AHTR Weekly as a popular forum where practitioners share their experiments and ideas about teaching art history.  Art History Pedagogy & Practice complements this exchange by providing a parallel space for rigorous peer-reviewed scholarship exploring pedagogical issues in art history and examining the effectiveness of instructional practices on students’ understanding of the discipline.  

Art History Pedagogy & Practice is currently on hiatus and not accepting new submissions. If you submitted an article prior to 6/5/2021 we are working it through the review process.
