Arts & Humanities Insights: Volume One
An answer to the persistent question: What does research look like in the arts and humanities?
Prominent scholars speak directly into the camera and share insights on a wide range of research influences and experiences in this intimate series of first-person, documentary style video portraits. This inspiring series of observations on the systematic investigation into existing or new knowledge helps illuminate the research of eight scholars engaged in humanistic discovery- conducting research, reviewing literature, observing people, teaching classes and mentoring the next generation of humanists.
These videos seek to: personify faculty in the College of Arts and Humanities; exemplify research topics investigated and tools used by humanist to produce knowledge; and remind the public of the long-term impact of artistic and humanistic research.
