Lecture - "Reframing the Humanities Under the Sign of the Global"

Giles Gunn, chair of the Global & International Studies Department, professor of English, and director of the American Studies and Global Contexts Center at the University of California, Santa Barbara.
In an increasingly globalized world, American higher education is being challenged, and nowhere is this more directly felt than in the new pressures being placed on the liberal arts, and particularly the humanities, to justify themselves. Gunn will address the globalization of education.
