Description
The Public Value of the Humanities by Jonathan Bate In times of economic constraint, questions about value become increasingly pressing. As governments seek to cut public expenditure, they must consider whether investing in humanities research delivers tangible benefits. This book brings together leading researchers from various disciplines to explore the public value of their work. Through case studies and essays, these experts examine the impact of humanities research on society, covering topics such as theology, architecture, media studies, and anthropology. Their contributions offer a thought-provoking perspective on the relevance and worth of humanities scholarship in contemporary Britain. The result is a passionate and often provocative exploration of the value of the humanities, one that challenges assumptions about the role of research in society.
