Humanities in the Twenty-First Century

At a recent University of Leeds workshop on the theme of 'Cultural Values', Dr Anna Upchurch (University of Leeds) mentioned a new book, which she and Dr Eleonora Belfiore (University of Warwick) have co-edited. Humanities in the Twenty-First Century Beyond Utility and Markets is a compilation of original essays that consider the question, 'what is the value of the arts and humanities today?'

The contributors are from a variety of different backgrounds, including culture, business and policy making, in both the UK and the US. The essays examine the collaborative endeavours of arts and humanities research, both within academia and beyond, and the important ethical, political, technological and environmental challenges that this research addresses.
