Although university museums historically have been and still are a major component of the museum field, there has been scarce literature on how university students can benefit from interaction with museum objects. This volume goes a long way towards rectifying this gap. The individual chapters cover a wide range of university-museum collaborations, with the individual descriptions embedded in an understanding of modern educational theory. George E. Hein, Lesley University, USA How can objects in museums and elsewhere be of value in higher education? This book is an invaluable, much needed extension of our understandings of object-centred learning into the tertiary level. Its thoughtful case studies demonstrate the role of objects - of myriad kinds - and multisensory, experiential engagements with them, in inspiring and enabling university students. Sandra Dudley, University of Leicester, UK "Helen Chatterjee and Leonie Hannans edited volume, Engaging the Senses: Object-based Learning in Higher Education, is an important step towards both explaining and exploring the myriad ways in which museums and higher education can, and often do, work together."
