Now More Than Ever: The Humanities of the Future
Join a frank discussion about the paths forward for the humanities.
Amidst a humanities in decline, Arizona State University has shown increased numbers of humanities majors in recent years. The university has added a variety of new programs and world-renowned faculty, including Pulitzer Prize winners, MacArthur Fellows, Guggenheim Fellows, Whiting Award recipients and winners of the National Book Critics Circle Award. This investment in the humanities at ASU is no mistake: the humanities matter, perhaps now more than ever. As we enter another polarized election season, as disinformation continues to influence policies and rhetoric around the United States, and as the site of free expression in higher education continues to be at risk, we must confront these issues head on.
This webinar offers a frank discussion about the paths forward for the humanities. The panelists will address success strategies in reimagining student experiences in the humanities classroom, navigating discussions of race and systemic racism amidst heightened criticism of CRT, and offer new ways to create an accessible and inclusive educational experience.
