9 11 AND THE ACADEMY GEBUNDEN

This book explores the impact of September 11  2001 upon interdisciplinary scholarship and
pedagogy in the liberal arts. Since the day that changed everything  many forces have
transformed institutions of higher education in the United States and around the world. The
editors and contributors consider the extent to which the influence of 9 11 was direct  or part
of wider structural changes within academia  and the chapters represent a wide range of
interdisciplinary perspectives on how the production and dissemination of knowledge has changed
since 2001. Some authors demonstrate that new forms of inquiry  exploration  and evidence have
been created  much of it focused on the causes  consequences  and meanings of the terror
attacks. Others find that scholars sought to understand 9 11 by applying old theoretical and
empirical insights and reviving lines of questioning that have become relevant. The
contributors also examine the impact of 9 11 on higher education administration and liberal
arts pedagogies. Among the many collective findings is that scholars in the humanities and
critical social sciences have been most attentive to the place of 9 11 in society and academic
culture. This eclectic collection will appeal to students and scholars interested in the place
of the liberal arts in the twenty-first century world.
