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?
Umm, popularizer, educator, clear writer, lucid writer, explainer, expositor, educator, blogger, Eliezer-whisperer (=Rob)…?

Also “communicator”, e.g. “science communicator”.
