"We are adept at acquiring knowledge and data by various digital mediations but there is no shortcut to wisdom. For that we need the arts."
Proud to be the product of a #LiberalArts college and to teach at one!
The liberal arts "are the final guarantor of our freedom. They are the means of our deeper thinking, vehicles of our imagining."

If tech is the HOW of designing the future, the liberal arts and humanities are the WHY (from @eyeonaxs) #UDLfuture

“An education in the #LiberalArts enriched life but was only available to free men - not to the slaves whose labour made that freedom possible
Millennia later, #Society is still deeply uncomfortable with the idea of a liberal education”

Powerful letter in support of the #Humanities and #SocialSciences, from #STEM faculty @MarquetteU. Some of the most effective advocacy for the #LiberalArts can be from STEM faculty who recognize importance of well-rounded university education and interdisciplinary work.

The case for #LiberalArts
The idea of #education and the kind of opportunities available have changed dramatically. And even though the future is shaped by #technology, technical education is no longer the only thing that matters. Interdisciplinarity is the order of the day

I didn't start until late teens. Before and still during that time: Math & science, pencil / paper / mechanical typewriter / HP-35&21 calculators / slide rule. Also, English reading, writing, and editing.
In my experience, programming benefits from broad liberal arts education.

Want to know what makes small liberal arts colleges (& Twitter) special? That guy commenting on my #publichealth & #biostats haiku is a nuclear physicist who taught a lit major Physics 101 a quarter-century ago. Thanks, Matt Deady. 😊🙌

Teaching STEM without teaching the Humanities is how you get Spider-Man villians.
Teaching Theater without teaching the Humanities is how you get Batman villians.

The spread of the virus is a science problem. The spread of misinformation is a communication problem.
Now, more than ever, we need well-rounded liberal arts education that teaches us a variety of methods of inquiry b/c it is foolish to think one discipline can explain it all.

Love it. Reminds us of another fave quote: "In fact, the scientific and artistic personalities overlap more than they differ, and the higher we shimmy into the leafy canopy of talent, the closer the two enterprises seem." Source: David Gelernter's "Machine Beauty"

What will you do with that degree? Well-meaning family can turn #Thanksgiving into a feast of doubts for college students. Actually, #liberalarts students can work in plenty of important fields like public service. #PBKPublicService pbk.org/ServiceScholarApp

Nourbakhsh: "Your students need to learn to learn...to be flexible." This is what #AI can't easily replicate, but it's also the most difficult to learn in siloed education. #LiberalArts #2019caoi

Employers, seek rounded, independent thinkers that will embolden your team through storytelling, critical thought, and articulation. More than ever, our times demand human-centric professionals that connect capitalism to conscience. #LiberalArts #Humanities #Jobs #Leadership
