Speaking out in a digital world: Humanities values, humanities processes

Abstract

As Eleonora Belfiore points ou t in her project position paper and here in Chapter 1, there has been a crisis in and of the humanities since at least Bérubé and Nelson’s seminal 1995 Higher Education under Fire: Politics, Economics and the Crisis of the Humanities. And, as David Looseley notes in this book and Looseley (2011), the financial implosion has felt to many of us to be both a nail in our humane coffin, and a hatchet handed to those [re]introducing a deeply problematic agenda.
