This book was released on 1990 with total page 89 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In March 1989, the American Association of Community and Junior Colleges (AACJC) began a year-long project to strengthen the humanities offerings in two-year institutions. Directors from eight select humanities programs which had received National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Higher Education in the Humanities grants were called upon to share their acquired expertise and experience with representatives from the humanities departments of 24 community colleges from across the nation. Selected by a committee of AACJC and NEH officials from among 100 applicants, the 24 participating colleges spent 3 days at a conference in Washington, D.C. that included plenary sessions, model project presentations, and mentor/team meetings with the eight selected directors. At the conclusion of the conference, each of the 24 teams had produced a written plan of action for their college to pursue over the months that followed. This project report includes brief profiles on the efforts and accomplishments of the eight selected college humanities departments and provides highlight reports from the 24 participating community colleges on the progress in humanities development they have achieved since the conference. Three appendices include addresses of all participating colleges and conference principals, a national map showing distribution of the colleges, and the AACJC policy statement regarding the study of humanities.

Download or read book The Future of Humanities Education at Community Technical and Junior Colleges written by Diane U. Eisenberg and published by . This book was released on 1986 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1985, the American Association of Community and Junior Colleges (AACJC) called together a group of two-year college leaders with a strong commitment to the humanities to explore issues and formulate a humanities policy statement for the AACJC. This monograph provides the resulting policy statement, as well as papers developed to stimulate interest in and encourage the continued study of the humanities in the two-year college. Following a preface by Dale Parnell describing the objectives and outcomes of the roundtable, Judith S. Eaton provides an introductory overview of the topic of humanities instruction in community colleges. The policy statement, "The Study of the Humanities in Community, Technical, and Junior Colleges," as adopted by the AACJC Board of Directors on April 12, 1986, is presented next. The next paper, "Staking a Claim to the Future: Humanities Studies in our Community Colleges," by Tziporah Kasachkoff and Joshua L. Smith, offers a critique of William Bennett's 1984 report, "To Reclaim a Legacy: A Report on the Humanities in Higher Education." Responses to the Humanities Policy Statement are offered by Arthur M. Cohen and Florence B. Brawer in "The Humanities Revisited," which compares the 1985 recommendations with those of AACJC's 1979 Assembly on Strengthening the Humanities; and by W. J. Megginson in "A Reaction from the Community College Humanities Association." The final paper, "Kirkwood Community College: A Humanities Case Study," by Rhonda Kekke and Terry Moran describes the college's efforts to integrate the study of humanities into its varied curricula. A listing of roundtable participants is included. (LAL)

Download or read book A New Deal for the Humanities written by Gordon Hutner and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2015-11-11 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many in higher education fear that the humanities are facing a crisis. But even if the rhetoric about “crisis” is overblown, humanities departments do face increasing pressure from administrators, politicians, parents, and students. In A New Deal for the Humanities, Gordon Hutner and Feisal G. Mohamed bring together twelve prominent scholars who address the history, the present state, and the future direction of the humanities. These scholars keep the focus on public higher education, for it is in our state schools that the liberal arts are taught to the greatest numbers and where their neglect would be most damaging for the nation. The contributors offer spirited and thought-provoking debates on a diverse range of topics. For instance, they deplore the push by administrations to narrow learning into quantifiable outcomes as well as the demands of state governments for more practical, usable training. Indeed, for those who suggest that a college education should be “practical”—that it should lean toward the sciences and engineering, where the high-paying jobs are—this book points out that while a few nations produce as many technicians as the United States does, America is still renowned worldwide for its innovation and creativity, skills taught most effectively in the humanities. Most importantly, the essays in this collection examine ways to make the humanities even more effective, such as offering a broader array of options than the traditional major/minor scheme, options that combine a student’s professional and intellectual interests, like the new medical humanities programs. A democracy can only be as energetic as the minds of its citizens, and the questions fundamental to the humanities are also fundamental to a thoughtful life. A New Deal for the Humanities takes an intrepid step in making the humanities—and our citizens—even stronger in the future.
