Episode 2: The State of the Humanities

Remixing the Humanities

It's our second super-sized episode! In this discussion, Geoff, Michael, and Devori take on the state of the humanities in our nation's HE institutions. Is there a crisis in the humanities, and does it look like we think it does? Why does the commodification of education seem to strike the humanities particularly hard? Are digital humanities the saviors we’re all waiting for – either financially or ideologically? How do technology and the humanities mix – is it another skill-set we need to teach? What essential roles do humanities classes play in today’s increasingly noisy world? Are we in the humanities uniquely poised to teach certain critical lessons to college students?
