What role can the humanities play in shaping our common future? What are the values that guide
us in the 21st century? How can we unleash the potential the humanities offer in a time of
multiple crises? This volume tackles some of these fundamental questions acknowledging and
developing the changing role of academic discourse in a turbulent world. This timely book
argues that the humanities engender conceptual tools that are capable of reconciling theory and
practice. In a bold move we call for the humanities to reach beyond the confines of
universities and engage in the most urgent debates facing humanity today - in a
multidisciplinary transformative and constructive way. This is a blueprint for how societal
change can be inclusive and equitable for the good of humans and non-humans alike.
