I was an English and French double major. Went in deep for the humanities. I’m so grateful for humanities training—I learned how to think critically, to research, to communicate on many levels, to figure out nearly anything I need to learn relatively easily.
For a decade, humanities enrollment has plummeted. What’s going on? In this week’s @NewYorker, I report at two campuses—ASU and Harvard—and ask “what it might mean to graduate a college generation with less education in the human past” than any before. newyorker.com/magazine/2023/…

“Writing out the bits and pieces of our days, as the lockdown tightened, the weather worsened, as my 36th birthday came & went—it has become both a way of preserving the ordinariness in the extraordinary”: Australian in #Germany Liv Hambrett of @LivWrites buff.ly/3ERX5kI

Nach mehr als 20 Jahren in #Deutschland darf ich heute zum ersten Mal wählen. Es gibt noch mehr als 8 Millionen Menschen ohne deutschen Pass, die heute nicht wählen dürfen. Doppelte Staatsbürgerschaft fördert Partizipation - und ist längst überfällig. #btw21

In a book I read recently on boosting creativity, a male creative says he goes for long late night solo walks at 10pm around local parks and canals to stir up ideas. IMAGINE

As yet another right-winger is offered yet another platform to explain how he has been oppressed and de-platformed, by all means let’s talk about cancelled subjects.
But I mean cancelled subjects, not “cancelled” ones.
