Eugene V. Gallagher and Patricia Killen have influenced a generation of religious studies professors through their Wabash Center teaching workshops. In this volume, contributors pay tribute to their influence and build on their insights in short essays focused on three perennial themes: Place, Plan and Persona.

- Place: Naming and negotiating your institutional context is essential to effective teaching. Who are your students and who are your colleagues; how do your courses fit in the school's mission and curriculum?

- Plan: Effective teaching requires self-critical intentional design of students' intellectual experience, through the arc of a course, the pacing of a single class session, the scaffolding of assignments, and the scope and purpose of an entire curriculum.

- Persona: Is the identity of the teacher a matter of an authentic essence, or a performative mask? Some measure of both, or something else entirely? Effective teaching entails careful attention to the relation between the students, the course content, and the person of the teacher.

This volume contributes to the scholarship of teaching and learning in religious studies and higher education by analyzing Gallagher and Killen's insights, and more generally, by exploring a substantial range of perspectives on core and enduring pedagogical concepts and questions.
