Stephen Armstrong and Fail Vanstone explores how a humanities education can help us understand not just the systems we live in, but what it means to live well within them. From art and literature to ethics and philosophy, we’re looking at how stories, emotions, and imagination connect us- to each other, to our world, and to ourselves.  So, if the Humanities help us understand what it means to be human, how do they shape the ways we express that humanity -through creativity, emotion, and imagination? And in the age of AI do humanities even play a bigger role or is humanities under threat.
