The humanities have been an integral part of humanitys cultural
structure for centuries. In this book, a number of leading scholars
reflect on the past, present and offer their perspectives for the
future of the humanities. The first chapter (written by Jennifer

vitality of music for humanistic study. Next, Kevin Donnelly
provides his perspectives and research of the humanities as they
pertain to Australian history. Professor Donald Elder then extols
the humanities from a historical perspective, investigating key
crucial events that have taken place in America. Literacy and
literacy instruction in the past, present and future are detailed
by Professors Thompson and Coffey, while scholar Paul Horton
examines the plight of the humanities in the vise of K-20 corporate
education reform. Emerging technologies in humanities education is
critically examined by Arjun Sabharwal while Gerald Cupchik
explores the humanities, emotions and aesthetics in a singular
fashion. The realms of pedagogy and knowledge are explored by Will

instruments of social justice. Josh McVey interprets Scripture and
its origins within the humanities while Anna Beck explores
historical American theatre and provides a glimpse of this realm
through various windows. Opal Greer sheds light on what we may be
able to discern from the humanities past and envisions the realm of
their future in universities and academia. Professor Elder
contributes a second time to this manuscript, boldly going where
not historian has gone before and examining the relevance of space
history to this subject matter. Bringing the book to a close,

humanities. Scholars, researchers, critics, historians, art lovers,
and musicians as well as many involved in education will relish and
enjoy this rich, robust exploration of the humanities and its
relation to the past, present and future.
