The institutions of the humanities: History of the humanities in Australia

该项目旨在了解澳大利亚的制度是如何塑造和使人文学科成为知识创造领域的。在澳大利亚和国际上，对人文历史及其机构的研究都不发达。该项目将重点关注二战以来大学、图书馆和学术院校的历史，以展示人文学科在社会和经济福祉中的重要性。该项目期望，对支持人文学科的机构有一个历史上细致入微的理解，将使学者和政策制定者能够更好地组织它们，使人文学科在未来蓬勃发展。

This project aims to understand how institutions shaped and made possible the humanities as a field of knowledge-making in Australia. Research on the history of the humanities and its institutions is under-developed in Australia and internationally. This project will focus on the history of universities, libraries and learned academies since the Second World War to demonstrate the importance of the humanities in social and economic well-being. The project expects that an historically-nuanced understanding of institutions that support the humanities will enable scholars and policy makers to better organise them so the humanities thrive in the future.
