Let’s define the humanities as “the study of ourselves through our collective human expression.” In education, these expressions-what makes each one of us unique, expressive, and capable of giving and receiving love are curiously gathered under a single content area or, at best, department-Humanities. Practices here include literature, art, design, music, and philosophy-activities that elevate our lives beyond mere survival.
It’s easy to spot right away, however, that the “non-humanities”-science, technology, engineering, and math-also have roles to play in the humanities. We don’t stop being human because we test theories or require data or perform calculations, nor are these “industries” any less human than writing poetry or composing music.
The humanities then, provide extraordinarily diverse modeling of human trials, failures, humility, and triumph. Ezra Pound’s “Literature is news that stays news” is a useful line. Out of the billions of episodes of published media, the things that linger-for whatever reason-tend to be useful, like a trail of bread crumbs back to ourselves.
