The University of Rochester Humanities Center is pleased to announce the publication of the inaugural volume in the University of Rochester Press’s Humanities in the World series, Resilience and the Humanities: Critique and Testing.
Founded by Humanities Center Director Peter Christensen and co-edited by Christensen and Tanya Bakhmetyeva, the series aims to generate original scholarship examining the role and condition of the humanities in global culture. The inaugural volume, more than four years in development, is co-edited by Stephen Hart, Camilla Gatica Mizala, and Nicolas Lema Habash.
Resilience and the Humanities: Critique and Testing offers fresh perspectives on the endurance and resilience of the humanities, presenting a counterpoint to familiar narratives of crisis. The volume includes a substantial focus on Latin America and contributes to timely conversations about the humanities’ place in the world.
The series reflects the Humanities Center’s commitment to advancing scholarship alongside supporting research, and is supported by the Center as an entirely open-access publication initiative.
The Center extends its appreciation to Christina Wipf Perry of publishing partner Boydell & Brewer for her work in moving the project forward, as well as to Sonia Kane for her contributions to its development. The recent recruitment of Sarah Jones, longtime editor of Blake Quarterly in the Department of English, as managing editor further strengthens the series’ editorial capacity. With several additional volumes in development, the Humanities in the World series is poised to continue contributing to important and timely discussions across the humanities.
