Cinema Journal and TeachingMedia.org have formed a partnership
to develop a quarterly feature called the Cinema Journal Teaching Dossier.

studies teaching and pedagogy and to engender serious discussion of pedagogical
issues via an active online platform. The
current dossier is titled
Critical Pedagogies in Neoliberal Times and is edited by Courtney Bailey and Julie Wilson.

The commissioned video essays are from Richard Misek, Jen Proctor, Ben Sampson, Cristina Álvarez López & Adrian Martin, and Austin Fisher.
