…& (I would add) “tolerance to nuance”. As Prof Fussell so coherently puts it, the arts & hums can help us explore the depths of the “human condition”. Seems a no brainier to incl humanities training in med quals when you put it like that, doesn’t it?

In today’s English departments, writes Sarah Blackwood (@drunkenbee), “faculty are told to do more with less, shift disciplinary methods, market better, demonstrate our value. Our value is without question, but our survival is not guaranteed.” go.nybooks.com/3ZD2GFz

"...the function that arts & humanities serve is just super important for a democracy. For a sense of agency and for a sense of unity between people that might feel superficially different."

this was a lovely chat! I did my best to convey how important arts and humanities are for the big picture of global survival and societies that are worth living in because I find usually those big things get forgotten in the day to day struggle for representation and opportunity

Companies want governments to push STEM so that they can pay people with those skills less.
Pushing maths is going to help companies get cheaper labour, not necessarily help people to get paid more.

Thrilled to be on this podcast from @BF_Armstrong, a dynamic researcher making the point for why we need A&H. I loved being on it, but am sad that we're in a place where a podcast like this is even needed. @CreativeFuseNE @DUBusSchool @durham_uni
