“Humanity has always looked to the arts to explain the world.”
– W. Kamau Bell, comedian, political satirist, and 2018 Sinatra Artist-in-Residence
“Humanities prepare students to be good citizens and help them understand a complicated, interlocking world. The humanities teach us critical thinking, how to analyze arguments, and how to imagine life from the point of view of someone unlike yourself.”
– Martha C. Nussbaum, Philosopher, Professor & 2017 Jefferson Lecturer
