Twenty-five years ago, historian of religions Jonathan Z. Smith
wrote: ''The quest for the powers and skills of informed judgment
for the dual capacities of appreciation and criticism might well
stand as the explicit goal of entry level of college curriculum.''
Regardless of specific course content, the polymethodic face of
Religious and Undergraduate Research is increasingly identified as
a particularly effective pedagogy for teaching and learning these
skills in the discipline. Teaching Undergraduate Research in
Religious Studies offers an introduction to the philosophy and
practice of Undergraduate Research in Religious Studies and takes
up several significant ongoing questions related to it. For those
new to Undergraduate Research, it provides an overview of
fundamental issues and pedagogical questions and practical models
for application in the classroom. For seasoned mentors, the book
acts as a dialogue partner on emerging issues and offers insight
into pertinent questions in the field based on the experience of
recognized experts. Individual chapters focus on select theoretical
and practical topics including the nature of collaboration between
faculty and students, what it means for undergraduate students to
make an ''original contribution'' in their research, how to
identify and shape a research project that is appropriate and
manageable, the types of institutional and professional support
systems needed to adequately support and reward faculty who
participate in this kind of pedagogy, and procedures for adequate
and appropriate assessment.
