Explanation, Popularization, “X for dummies”, “introduction to X”, “conceptual introduction to X”, “mathematical introduction to X”, “introduction to X for economists”, “ELI12: X”, “textbook”, “lecture series”, “Voxsplainer”, “Blog post on X”, “Semitechnical introductory dialog on X”…?
I think the acadeimc meaning of the word “review” (as in “review paper”) is a great fit. Except this word also have several other near by meanings which are not the meaning we want.
“Explainer” is pretty good. E.g. calling a post “Explainer of …”, or somene can have the role of Explainer.
I don’t think “pedagogy” is the right word? It’s too broad. It encompases things like how long lectures should be before taking a break, spaced repetition, etc. The jargon Distillation [2] is not a shorthand for the entire science of teahing and learning. It’s a shorthand for the art of writing good explainers, right?
FYI there are three different words I need, and I don’t know what the proper… conjugation? is for pedagogy:
Distiller (person who does the job of streamling/clarifying)
Distillation [1] (an instance of a distilled work)
Distillation [2] (the general topic of creating distillations. This is the one I think “pedagogy” means)
The first one could be called “a teacher”, but, that has different connotations when you’re writing things down or whatnot.
Umm, popularizer, educator, clear writer, lucid writer, explainer, expositor, educator, blogger, Eliezer-whisperer (=Rob)…?

Yeah, I guess “pedagogy”.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Also “communicator”, e.g. “science communicator”.
