#Listening
By putting the ear on a par with the eye, one equalizes the senses & takes what one hears as seriously as what one sees. But why do we find it easier in the #humanities to scrutinize the latter, not the former? Why do we fiercely debate what we see, but what we hear often seems a given?

My take on one of the great Australian classics of the twentieth century: Joan Lindsay's "Picnic at Hanging Rock" (1967), a dark, atmospheric mystery that mocks the pretensions of repressed Edwardian morality and its colonial ambitions.

"Some organizations are scaling back their work. Others worry artists will censor themselves just to survive. But many are fighting back." #NEA #NEH #humanities #arts #Nashville #Alabama #podcasts @drangelasutton.bsky.social

The decision bars introductory sociology from the state’s general-education catalog — the set of foundational courses all #students must complete, regardless of major, across subjects such as #math, #science, #humanities and #socialsciences.

We live in complex times. Here's how the humanities can help. In a world where you can be anything, why not be human?

"[N]ow more than ever, we need the humanities. Because it teaches us human skills and what it is to be human. These will be the most valuable skills in the future; not just at work, but also to have a good life."

You thought the generalist was dead — in the 'vibe work' era, they're more important than ever Not long ago, the idea of being a “generalist” in the workplace had a mixed reputation. The stereotype was the “jack of all trades” who could dabble in many disciplines but was a “master of none.” And for years, that was more or less true.

The generalist is back and AI is making them essential via @venturebeat venturebeat.com/technology/y... #EduSky #EduSkyAI #TLSky #EdTech #AIinEducation #aisky #ai #humanities #generalist

President Price sees financial, tech pressures as chance to rethink humanities and libraries During a Tuesday event, Price said that there is a "nice opportunity" to "rethink" what a liberal arts education should look like.

“Where we’re paying about a third of the costs of research in science and technology, we’re footing the bill for almost all of the costs in the #humanities … It’s a substantial investment on the part of the universities." bit.ly/4rSGm9e

Faculty are right that AI output is mediocre. They’re wrong about why If AI amplifies what you bring to it, the liberal arts mission of developing critical thinkers becomes not nostalgia but practical necessity, says Nicholas Creel

I spent over 30 years climbing a ladder. It's strange to reach the top and find that the ladder does not actually lean against anything. I'm just sort of clinging to the top of this thing, it's windy, and the ladder is swaying a little.

Scott Samuelson: Plato’s Defense of the Humanities People in the humanities shouldn’t forget that the humanities are worth dying for.

Scott Samuelson revisits #Plato’s Apology to defend the humanities. From the trial of #Socrates to Guinness World Record twins on Hondas, he argues that the "care of the soul" isn't a luxury—it's what makes us human.
