Critical Studies in Teaching and Learning (CriSTaL) is a peer–reviewed journal that publishes critical scholarly articles and essays that make interesting and distinctive contributions to the scholarship of teaching and learning in higher / university education.

The journal aims to provide a stimulating and challenging forum for contributors to theorise, trouble, reconfigure and re–imagine higher education teaching and learning practice. We promote an understanding of knowledge creation that is situated, which challenges hegemonic thought, and is sensitive to intersecting positionalities, histories, and inequalities. We encourage work that moves beyond boundaries, such as methodology, discipline, or location. We invite authors to be creative, take risks (and), think "otherwise". Contributions should be framed by a sensibility towards social justice.

Contributions that address challenging problems and issues from theoretical, ethical, practice–based, empirical, strategic, or analytical angles are welcomed, as well as contributions that focus on innovative and creative approaches to teaching and learning.

Types of manuscripts published in CriSTaL include Original Research, Book Reviews and Review Essays.

The publication language for abstracts, keywords and Full-text is English.

The journal publishes 2 issues annually in June and December, with a special issue published in September.

Key abbreviated title of the journal is Crit. stud. teach. learn.
