'Contemporary Themes in Humanities Higher Education is a valuable collection which articulates questions and potential solutions about the future of the field, its teaching and its research. It is a particularly welcome contribution in the current climate when discussions surrounding education tend to be about cutbacks, efficiencies and performativity.' Colleen Mckenna in Teaching Higher Education, 8:1 (2003)
