The Global Humanities Reader is a collaboratively edited collection
of primary sources with student-centered support features. It
serves as the core curriculum of the University of North Carolina
Asheville's almost-sixty-year-old interdisciplinary Humanities
Program. Its three volumes--Engaging Ancient Worlds and
Perspectives (Volume 1), Engaging Premodern Worlds and Perspectives
(Volume 2), and Engaging Modern Worlds and Perspectives (Volume
3)--offer accessible ways to explore facets of human subjectivity
and interconnectedness across cultures, times, and places. In
highlighting the struggles and resilient strategies for surviving
and thriving from multiple perspectives and positionalities, and
through diverse voices, these volumes course correct from
humanities textbooks that remain Western-centric. One of the main
features of the The Global Humanities Reader is a sustained and
nuanced focus on cultivating the ability to ask questions--to
inquire--while enhancing culturally aware, reflective, and
interdisciplinary engagements with the materials. The editorial
team created a thoroughly interactive text with the following
unique features that work together to actualize student success: *
Cross-cultural historical introductions to each volume *
Comprehensive and source-specific timelines highlighting periods,
events, and people around the world * An introduction for each
source with bolded key terms and questions to facilitate active
engagement * Primed and Ready questions (PARs)--questions just
before and after a reading that activate students' own knowledge
and skills * Inquiry Corner--questions consisting of four types:
Content, Comparative, Critical, and Connection * Beyond the
Classroom--explore how ideas discussed in sources can apply to
broader social contexts, such as job, career, project teams or
professional communities * Glossary of Tags--topical 'hubs' that
point to exciting new connections across multiple sources These
volumes reflect the central role of Humanities in deepening an
empathic understanding of human experience and cultivating
culturally appropriate and community-centered problem-solving
skills that help us flourish as global and local citizens.
