This book investigates the relationship among three major ideas in the American academy—interdisciplinarity, humanities, and culture—and traces the convergence of these ideas from the colonial college to new scholarly developments in the latter half of the twentieth century. Its aim is twofold: to define the changing relationship of these three ideas and, in the course of doing so, to extend present thinking about the concept of "American cultural studies." The book includes two sets of case studies—the first on the implications of interdisciplinarity for literary studies, art history, and music; the second on the shifting trajectories of American studies, African American studies, and women's studies—and concludes by asking what impact new scholarly practices have had on humanities education, particularly on the undergraduate curriculum.HumanitiesStudy and teaching (Higher)United StatesHumanitiesPhilosophyCultureStudy and teachingUnited StatesEducation, HumanisticUnited StatesInterdisciplinary approach to knowledgeLearning and scholarshipUnited StatesLearned institutions and societiesUnited StatesHumanitiesStudy and teaching (Higher)HumanitiesPhilosophy.CultureStudy and teachingEducation, HumanisticInterdisciplinary approach to knowledge.Learning and scholarshipLearned institutions and societies001.3/071/173Klein Julie Thompson884934MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910808354003321Humanities, culture, and interdisciplinarity4053724UNINA
