Humanities; Higher & further education, tertiary education

This book is dedicated to the teaching and study of humanities in our colleges and universities. It aims to help unite humanities educators at a time of profound change in education systems worldwide - offering a modern theory of our particular purposes, teaching methods and styles. Drawing on detailed case studies, it is also designed to make a modernizing impact upon practice. The book's themes include Critical Humanism and a new model for the humanities: ""The Other""/tradition and modern consciousness; widening participation in humanities education; globalization and humanities teaching in Europe; the new technologies, their uses and impact; and the value and conduct of pedagogic research. If you are a teacher of any humanities subject, a researcher into the teaching-learning of the humanities or involved in staff development, if you are a further and higher education policy maker or administrator, this book is for you.

Reviews for Contemporary Themes in Humanities Higher Education

'Contemporary Themes in Humanities Higher Education is a valuable collection which articulates questions and potential solutions about the future of the field, its teaching and its research. It is a particularly welcome contribution in the current climate when discussions surrounding education tend to be about cutbacks, efficiencies and performativity.' Colleen Mckenna in Teaching Higher Education, 8:1 (2003)
