Pedagogical Partnership
Description of Pedagogical Partnerships
Para1Pedagogical partnerships at EMEE are modeled on those established by Janelle Jenstad’s
Map of Early Modern London (MoEML). In these partnerships, graduate and undergraduate students develop content under
the close supervision of their professor. The content is then peer-reviewed and edited
by EMEE’s editor, Kate McPherson.
Para2There are current opportunities for individual undergraduate students to become involved
as writers for EMEE. Please contact the EMEE editor for guidelines.
Para3There are current opportunities for faculty to access assignments, rubrics, and guidelines
to create assignments to get their students involved via a pedagogical partnership.
Please contact the EMEE editor to get started.
