Gurung, Regan A.R., Nancy L. Chick, and Aeron Haynie, Eds. Exploring Signature Pedagogies: Approaches to Teaching Disciplinary Habits of Mind. Sterling, VA: Stylus, 2009.	Our introduction speaks to the importance of looking at disciplinary learning, and we have a brief section on the humanities.  I wrote the chapter on literary studies (linked below), and Joel Sipress and David Voelker wrote the chapter on history, carrying forward Lendol Calder's work in history.  (We also have three chapters on fine arts.)  In my chapter, I talk about some of the challenges we in English face in doing SoTL.
Sorby, Angela. "Looking Backwards: How the Humanities Survived the Great Crash of 2009." Chronicle of Higher Education. 1 April 2009. < http://chronicle.com/jobs/news/2009/04/2009040101c.htm>.	A humorous but telling article written from the perspective of an English professor in 2020.  Underneath the humor, it suggests something about what happens when the university de-emphasizes the humanities, as happens today, and what the university might look like with a revived humanities at its core.

Winter 2010 issue of Liberal Education (focus is The Humanities)	See Helen Vendler's challenge to philosophy and history as the cornerstones of the humanities, asserting that instead "the humanities should take, as their central objects of study, not the texts of historians or philosophers, but the products of aesthetic endeavor: architecture, art, dance, music, literature, theater, and so on."
