In a just world, would the college I teach at exist?
Physics requires competencies in contextual framing, argumentation, analysis, problem-finding, transdisciplinary thinking, etc. The #LiberalArts & #Humanities nourish #STEM as surely as they nourish all endeavors. buff.ly/38e2ZP2

It is good that the constitution and purpose of the #Classics are being contested. As always, the issues run far deeper than a casual glance would suggest. #LiberalArts #Humanities #EtudesClassiques buff.ly/3qiQTfI
Traditionally, the #LiberalArts & #Humanities were not driven by research, but by #curiosity. The purpose of studying them is to become more fully human, not to increase the store of human knowledge. It's time the university returned to its roots. buff.ly/3iJlD7I
The specific goal of the #LiberalArts & #Humanities is to draw forth and improve the capacities that are most particular to humans. buff.ly/3qTi9Sa
We have taken the skills imparted by the #LiberalArts & #Humanities for granted. We used to be able to assume that every educated person would have them. Now we're beginning to realize how desperately we need them. buff.ly/3iIDewu
Information and knowledge are widely available. What are going to becoming increasingly valuable are thinking skills. The #LiberalArts & #Humanities will teach you _how_ to think, not _what_ to think. buff.ly/3wnCXmJ
One of the core tenets of the #LiberalArts & #Humanities is that only a multiplicity of perspectives, frameworks, and voices can approximate truth. We need to get back to work listening--really listening--to opinions that differ from our own. buff.ly/3ghQNjD
The #LiberalArts and #Humanities already provide many skills employers want. But the value of these skills must be articulated more vividly, and some vocational skills and experience must be added to the mix. buff.ly/3fmtiXC
While #STEM disciplines help us understand our world, the #LiberalArts & #Humanities help us understand ourselves... and each other.
Nothing human--including and especially commerce and technology--make any sense outside a human context, and it's precisely that context that the #LiberalArts & #Humanities strive to understand. buff.ly/3tMc2iv
