Aprašymas

An Open Access edition will be available on publication on the Liverpool University Press website, thanks to funding from the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC).

Humanities Forward brings together scholars and practitioners who have developed innovative responses to the challenges facing the Humanities. International, interdisciplinary, and intergenerational, their contributions illuminate, in diverse ways, the impact, value, and societal relevance of the Humanities in the 21st century. There is a need for researchers to communicate the value of what they do, and there is a need for policymakers to recognize the immense contributions, individual and societal, made by the Humanities. As one of the book's contributors puts it, "it is not trivial to consider the sum of human happiness that is owed solely to the continued existence of humanities subjects."

This book offers a roadmap for both researchers and public stakeholders, showcasing best practices across a wide range of disciplines. Challenging provocations sit side by side with insightful analysis, asking the reader to be part of a collective conversation. Whether in Europe, South America, or Oceania (and beyond), this volume offers fresh perspectives from academics, publishers, research funders, and schoolteachers. Together, they articulate what the Humanities stand for, on their own terms.
