The authors demonstrate the monarchs\u2019 reliance upon courtiers, and proves that rather than being isolated in gendered, female quarters, women engaged with men at court daily; their interconnectivity within the network of governance reveals the multiple spokes \u2013 male and female \u2013 that comprised the wheels of medieval royal governance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drawing on his experience teaching women in business in the francophone world, Toya considers the value of the humanities in cultivating civic- and community-mindedness in students and preparing them to take humanistic inquiry into their future careers. He seeks to demystify and deconstruct the discourses of the economists most often studied in university courses, whose models are often purportedly grounded in mathematical reasoning. From a public humanities perspective, his critical intervention reexamines the dichotomies of campuses\/communities and academy\/public and demonstrates how the work within our classrooms is integral to preparing students for engaging with other communities in the ways they bring humanistic inquiry into the world beyond college. Exploring connections between the classroom and the community, in conjunction with humanities-based reflection on issues of race, gender, and class, helps students to understand the complexity and diversity of socioeconomic realities from a non-Western perspective.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
