Join us this week as we share the importance of experts in the humanities & social sciences. Why do we need more historians, anthropologists, philosophers, sociologists, religious studies scholars, literary scholars?
Share your answer with #TalkAboutHumanities #TalkAboutSocialSciences
According to Humanities Indicators, humanities majors work across a wide range of sectors, earn substantially more than non-degree holders, & report high job satisfaction. The "unemployable humanities grad" is a myth. We need more humanists.

On the left is the book cover featuring abstract, glitchy vertical streaks in blue, white, and orange tones with the title arranged vertically. The background is a distorted, static-like image in similar colors. On the right, a quote reads, “a kaleidoscopic blending of cinema, politics, and pop-culture” attributed to Iain Reid. Lever Press logo appears in the bottom right corner.
🎞️ Out this month: "Screen Captures"
