This book is about the teaching and study of the humanities in our
universities. It addresses humanities educators, whose job it is to
teach undergraduate students, researchers into the processes of
teaching and learning involved, and higher education policy-makers.
The book aims to stimulate discussion among them of the proper
purposes, processes and outcomes of this form of education. And, in
the process, it aims to help define and develop the new field of
Arts and Humanities Higher Education (AHHE) . In the humanities, as
in other academic domains of higher education, a public discourse
of teaching and of students' learning is presently underdeveloped.
This may seem surprising given the long history of the university
as an institution, and the huge resources devoted to higher
education in many countries, but there are of course reasons for
it. First, until very recently there has been no profession of
teacher education focused on the academy. Simply, academics have
needed neither training nor qualification as teachers of their
subject, so that no-one has been required to make teacher education
their business or teaching-learning in 2 higher education their
special field of interest . As regards schooling, the The label
'Arts and Humanities Higher Education' reflects the fact that the
humanities subjects (Classics, Cultural Studies, History, Art
History, European Studies, Languages, Literature, Philosophy,
Religious Studies, etc. ) are usually taught in the Faculty of Arts
in UK universities. The book does not include discussion of the
fine or performing arts except incidentally.
