Research within the humanities is no exception: it is distributed across a variety of methodic styles of research and increasingly involves interactions with fields outside the narrow confines of the university. As a result, the notion of liberal arts and humanities within Western universities is undergoing profound transformations. In \u003ci\u003eMapping Frontier Research in the Humanities\u003c\/i\u003e, the contributors explore this transformative process. What are the implications, both for the modes of research and for the organisation of the humanities and higher education?The volume explores the intra- and extra-academic engagement of humanities researchers, their styles of research, and exemplifies their interdisciplinary character. The humanities are shaping debates about culture and identity, but how? Has neuroscience changed the humanities? What do they tell us about hypes' and economic bubbles'? \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eMapping Frontier Research in the Humanities \u003c\/i\u003etackles 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 *\u003cbr\u003eThis 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 reading for scholars, scientists and policy makers alike. * Rens Bod, Professor in Digital Humanities and History of Humanities, University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eList of figures List of Tables Notes on Contributors Preface and Acknowledgements  \u003cb\u003ePart 1 \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eKnowledge Production in the Humanities\u003c\/b\u003e 1.
