This insightful article in defense, or should we say, in support, of the humanities resonates with us. Since our founding in 1996, Athena Research Consultants has promoted and worked with others in the study of "arts and humanities." It's where we find the most joy -- helping others expand, promote, and preserve the fields that connect us and our lived experiences. "The connection I achieved through literature highlights the critical importance of the humanities. Encompassing history, literature, philosophy, art, and more, the humanities provide a lens through which one can view one’s personal experiences–making the universal personal and the personal universal." https://lnkd.in/e9RQQMKr

In the Historical Public Humanities issue of Public Humanities, I explore Edward Said's role as a public intellectual. The essay opens with an analysis of a Columbia Spectator report on a "stone-throwing" incident in Lebanon, examining how the narrative evolved in the New York Times. Drawing on Said's essays on figures such as Tahia Carioca and Nelson Mandela, I delve into the "embodiment" of intellectual "performance." Here is the link to my article published in the the Public Humanities journal from Cambridge Core. The title of the article is “Embodying” the Intellectual: Edward Said, Public Sphere and the University and it is Open Access (OA). You can view my article at https://lnkd.in/ggRUiRXB.

“We live in a world and planet under duress. We are wanting for tools and concepts that foster change and help us live under these shared, if still uneven conditions,” Guyer writes in her report, which accompanies and summarizes the larger report, “… the humanities are of critical importance to that future.” The World Humanities Report is the product of 230 scholars and writers whose documentation of the contributions and condition of the humanities in their parts of the world culminated in 115 essays, reports and case studies. It also includes 10 recommendations for how university, government, philanthropic, policy and other leaders can protect the humanities and prevent their extinction. The strategies include investing in humanities research, protecting freedom of inquiry as a right, and preserving archives, languages and language study. https://lnkd.in/gkSuJbxe

Just like the Center for Critical Peace Studies, universities, funding agencies, and policymakers in governments need to invest in Humanities/Social Sciences to conduct research as a way to resolve the critical issues of the world. Unfortunately, most of the funding is being allocated to Science and Engineering for technological advancements that lack addressing the constructed social realities. #Humanities_Research #Towards_Critical_Social_Issues #Fund_Social_Sciences_Humanities_Research

What Critics of the Humanities Don't Understand: In contrast to the sciences, the humanities are a family of interrelated areas of cultural inquiry, expression, and creativity. The humanities encompass philosophy, religion, language arts, visual arts, performing arts, and history. These humanities, when brought in dialogue with one another, uniquely affirm reason, emotion, imagination, doubt, faith, skepticism, and wonder. In a word, the humanities facilitate the contemplation of the human condition in pursuit of activating human potential. Read more @ https://lnkd.in/gVj6rMUP Dr. Jeffrey Nall.
