The "emergence of literature in eighteenth-century France" changes our understanding of when, how and why modern ideas of literature emerged in France.

Liberal arts courses sometimes face the question of whether core texts can actually 'educate character' or 'care for the soul' in the Socratic sense.

War fiction, then, provides material for a case study of war and its impact on representations of subjective well-being (SWB),…

This paper proposes a novel framework for systematic reviews, the "conceptual systematic review" (CSR), incorporating elements of content analysis that often implicitly precede synthesising research but are rarely made explicit. We argue that a CSR has the possibility to conceptually map a "tangled term," to prepare systematic…

The higher education (HE) sector has witnessed escalating competition, resulting in an increase in scholarly interest. Despite this, a comprehensive review of the existing literature in this domain remains absent. Thus, based on Tranfield et al.'s (2003) methodology, we systematically review 80 articles published between 2012 and 2022, extracted…
