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
