In this roundtable event, Nicholas Gaskill and Kate Stanley will discuss their recent ‘Theories and Methodologies’ section in PMLA on aesthetic education (forthcoming in the January 2023 issue). Patrick Hayes, Nicole King, Erica McAlpine and Damien Maher will offer short responses, and there will be plenty of time for discussion. The introduction to the special section, co-written by Gaskill and Stanley, will be pre-circulated.
