It is especially timely that a book addressing the many concerns regarding this degree should appear in the US market. -Tom Huhn, Ph.D., Chair Visual & Critical Studies, Art History School of Visual Arts, New York. The book is organized as a constructive debate that encourages people to engage with the issues. -Lynette Hunter, Professor of the History of Rhetoric and Performance and Director UC Multicampus Research Group in International Performance and Culture, University of California Davis.
