<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">This book confronts an ever more popular suspicion – that a university education in the humanities and social sciences is an ‘elitist’ indoctrination into ‘leftist’ or ‘liberal’ views.
<br>
<br>
Having taught them for nearly 40 years, Gavin Kitching shows that, on the contrary, studying these subjects leads one to fruitfully question all political and social views (left-wing, right-wing, ‘elite’, ‘popular’, religious, secular) and to a healthy scepticism
of all the beliefs about human identity (whether racial, gender, national, or class) to which they give rise.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
