Headline: We Need Humanities Research. "Society needs specialized humanities research—research that delves deeply into literary, linguistic, or cultural topics. Just as medical research cannot progress without basic scientific research, so social and cultural criticism needs deep research before it can 'go public.'"  Paula M. Krebs, Executive Director, MLA; Modern Language Association logo, #TalkAboutHumanities

"Society needs specialized humanities research—research that delves deeply into literary, linguistic, or cultural topics," says @paulakrebs.bsky.social. We need to invest in humanities research for the advancement of society. #TalkAboutHumanities

This year, Eid carries a different weight across our region.

Even so, we are reminded—often in quiet ways—that community endures.

As we complete our semester remotely, we remain deeply connected.

Wishing you peace, warmth, and light.

Eid Mubarak.

It was fabulous to host Tarek El-Ariss @nuqatar.bsky.social to discuss his acclaimed book Water on Fire, an evocative & insightful memoir about war, trauma & desire. He discussed his journey from academic to personal writing, the sea as liberation & threat & the obsessions that make us human.

The future is rarely singular—or settled.

At @nuqatar.bsky.social we confidently grapple with uncomfortable questions. Hence our latest Media Majlis Museum exhibition, “What’s between, between?” invites visitors to ponder the uncertainty of the future.

A must-do if in Doha btw now and June!
