Yeah that's what I feel. We must promote how teaching humanities makes people more attractive workers on the labour market or our fields won't even survive. We should do this without losing sight of our other commitments but giving the employability part short shrift means we can't do anything
Yeah. It sucks to argue on their terms, which are flawed, but the point is that we can. Same with the economic argument: the humanities are good for the economy. That shouldn’t be what it’s about, but it’s the world we’re in
