The campus creates spaces for sharing traditions and reinforces the aspirations of a community of learning that stewards knowledge, provokes reflection, and shapes citizenship. \u003ci\u003eLandscape and the Academy\u003c\/i\u003e complements the growing body of literature in architectural history, cultural geography, and education by examining the role of landscape in creating academic communities. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe volume looks beyond the central campus, to the gardens, arboreta, farms, forests, biotic reserves, and far-flung environmental research stations managed by universities. In these landscapes, the university's project of fostering research and exploration is made explicit; these spaces reflect the broader research and scholarly mission of the university, its striving for understanding and enlightenment. The essays examine how and why universities have come to be responsible for so many different kinds of landscapes, as well as the role these landscapes play in academic life, pedagogy, and cultural politics today.","brand":"Dumbarton Oaks Research Library \u0026 Collection","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46289836703895,"sku":"9780884024545","price":5145.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780884024545.webp?v=1769303650","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/landscape-and-the-academy-9780884024545","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
