Information About

This collection of seminar papers and project synopses is about the nature of humanness, its passions and powers, frailty and fears. There are humanist modes of knowing which emphasise the need to take into account human values and attitudes in the pursuit of knowledge. For the students involved, themes which dominate tend to be youth concerns, including pop idols, pop music, youth culture, juvenile criminology, and teenager-adult relationships.
