                This workshop
                on the teaching
                of criticsm
                engages three
                parallel sets
                of issues: 
              (a) teaching
                students to
                think and
                write critically;
                 
                 
                (b) teaching
                the history
                of criticism
                of photography
                (for this
                we'll use
                examples of
                important
                writings about
                photography
                by Emerson,
                Moholy-Nagy,
                myself, and
                several others,
                discussing
                the pedagogical
                issues involved
                in contextualizing
                these with
                students);                 
                 
                (c) understanding
                the relationship
                between hermeneutics
                and exegetics,
                between theory
                and practice,
                and other
                dialectical
                issues.
