Sommario/riassunto

This book makes a consciously positive case for the civic value of the humanities. The author seeks to show the ways in which humanities subjects are not just about teaching and learning to master technical content, but are also concerned with the transmission of ethical humanistic values. By embedding values from humanities subjects more deeply within universities, she argues that we can bring heart and soul, and indeed humanity, to higher education settings which have a far reaching, positive impact within and beyond these settings. The book will appeal to academics and students in higher education studies and humanities subjects, as well as institutional administrators and leaders. Katherine E. Southwood is Professor of Hebrew Bible/Old Testament and Fellow of St John's College, University of Oxford, UK.
