Reviews

Mapping Frontier Research in the Humanities tackles a central irony of contemporary academic culture: the humanities, dismissed as marginal or irrelevant, are increasingly central to understanding the role of science and technology in our lives. Its empirical approach to mapping the current state and possible futures of humanistic knowledge may unsettle humanists, which is all to the good. Robert Frodeman, Professor, Department of Philosophy and Religion, University of North Texas, USA This compelling book gives a most welcome account of knowledge production in the humanities, showing both their interdisciplinary place amongst the disciplines, as well as their central position in solving societal challenges. It should be compulsory ready for scholars, scientists and policy makers alike. Rens Bod, Professor in Digital Humanities and History of Humanities, University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands
