Using both quantitative graduate employment survey data and qualitative data from interviews with past humanities graduates and with leading humanities scholars, the study provides an objective picture of the "value" of humanities degrees in relation to the economic needs and growth of Hong Kong, together with an in-depth exploration of their value and use in the eyes of humanities graduates and practitioners. Therefore, although it is hardly the only book on the value and status quo of the humanities worldwide, it nonetheless stands out in this crowded field as one of the very few extended studies that draws on empirical data. The book will appeal to both an academic and a wider audience, including members of the general public, non-academic educators, and government administrators interested in the status quo of humanities education, whether in Hong Kong or elsewhere. The report also includes a wealth of text taken directly from interviews with humanities graduates, who share their compelling life stories and views on the value of their humanities education. 000940684 650_0 $$aHumanities$$xStudy and teaching (Higher)$$zChina$$zHong Kong. 000940684 7001_ $$aChan, Evelyn Tsz Yan,$$d1982- 000940684 7001_ $$aMak, Flora Ka Yu. 000940684 7001_ $$aYau, Thomas Siu Ho. 000940684 7001_ $$aO'Sullivan, Michael. 000940684 7001_ $$aTay, Eddie. 000940684 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z9811571864$$z9789811571862$$w(OCoLC)1159042210 000940684 830_0 $$aSpringerBriefs in education. 000940684 852__ $$bebk 000940684 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-981-15-7187-9$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000940684 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:940684$$pGLOBAL_SET 000940684 980__ $$aEBOOK 000940684 980__ $$aBIB 000940684 982__ $$aEbook 000940684 983__ $$aOnline 000940684 994__ $$a92$$bISE
