    Book, Stanford University Press, 2000

  • Description

    Given the attacks on the humanities by the right (?Goethe is not taught anymore!?) and the left (?Why teach dead white males??) over the past decade, how can we teach and research in the humanities in the years to come? The underlying theme of the eight essays and addresses, four of them published for the first time, is that teachers in the humanities are the spokespersons of the university?s history and future, doing the heavy lifting in teaching the bulk of the students those intellectual skills?critical reading, writing, culture, and thought?that will serve them no matter what their major or future employment.

    Book, Princeton University Press, 1997

  • Description

    This volume of specially commissioned original essays presents the thoughts of some of the most distinguished commentators within the American academy on the fundamental changes that have taken place in the humanities in the latter part of the twentieth century. Social institutions change as well in such circumstances, and the volume concludes with studies of the new social arrangements that have developed in the humanities in recent years: the attack on professionalism and the effort to transform the humanities into the social conscience of academia and even of the nation as a whole.
