Value and the Humanities draws upon historical, financial, and critical debates concerning educational and cultural policy. Rather than writing a singular defence of the humanities against economic rationalism, Zoe Hope Bulaitis constructs a nuanced map of the intersections of value in the humanities, encompassing an exploration of policy engagement, scientific discourses, fictional representation, and the humanities in public life. The book articulates a kaleidoscopic range of humanities practices which demonstrate that although recent policy encourages higher education to be entirely motivated by outcomes, fiscal targets, and the acquisition of employability skills, the humanities continue to inspire and aspire beyond these limits. This book is a historically-grounded and theoretically-informed analysis of the value of the humanities within the context of the market. 2020-07-14T07:18:39Z 2020-07-14T07:18:39Z 2020 book ONIX_20200714_9783030378929_16 https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/39981 eng Palgrave Studies in Literature, Culture and Economics application/pdf n/a 2020_Book_ValueAndTheHumanities.pdf https://www.springer.com/9783030378929 Springer Nature Palgrave Macmillan 10.1007/978-3-030-37892-9 10.1007/978-3-030-37892-9 6c6992af-b843-4f46-859c-f6e9998e40d5 Palgrave Macmillan 255 open access
