      Manifesto for the Humanities: Transforming Doctoral Education in Good Enough Times (University of Michigan Press, 2015).
      Open access link: http://dx.doi.org/10.3998/dcbooks.13607059.0001.001

      From Manifesto for the Humanities: “Anxieties about the vitality of the humanities within higher education run high. So, too, do anxieties about the evolving conditions of our work as academic humanists. For some, talk of change, with its rhetoric of urgency, becomes a trigger for holding fast to certain understandings of the life of the academic humanist. For others, it is a conundrum and a headache. I see it as an occasion to think purposefully about how to meet future challenges and how to calibrate the potential upsides of transformation.”
