Worlding the Social Sciences andHumanities

Journal Contribution - Journal Article

Under the impact of globalization, the study and teaching of the social sciences and humanities is rapidly changing. In many ways, what we see is a growing transfer of research, knowledge, and method from the West to other parts of the world, and in the first instance China. This evelopment is steered by far-reaching changes in the organization of higher education in both the West and in this case China, changesthat in themselves have to do with changing economic conditions, and the political decisions following from them, as the result of globalization. In the final part of this article I focus upon how this works out in one particular field or discipline in the humanities: world literature.
