In an age of online education and educational philosophies like “flipping the classroom,” does the lecture have any role in today’s university? Drawing from the humanities and social sciences and from a range of different types of schools, The College Lecture Today makes the affirmative case for the lecture in the humanities and social and political sciences. These essays explore how to lecture without sacrificing theoretical knowledge.

The College Lecture Today: An Interdisciplinary Defense for the Contemporary University addresses the value of the lecture in higher education. There is currently a move to end the lecture, as too traditional, too removed from the students, and ineffectual. As universities evaluate professors according to metrics that direct classroom pedagogy away from the lecture, the universities question the value of the lecture in the classroom.This text offers a defense of the lecture in the university classroom. It does so by asking such questions as, “What is a lecture,” “What is its place and value in the university,” “Can the lecture be improved with technology?” and “What evidence shows that the lecture is pedagogically effective?” The text offers answers to these questions from an interdisciplinary group of experts talking about a broad range of topics. The chapters come from experts in a wide range of disciplines, such as history, art history, literature, foreign languages, media studies, religion, and political science. In this book readers will find thoughtful, well written, and challenging chapters from various disciplines on the value of the lecture in the contemporary university classroom.
