How the Humanities Can Save Humanity

Humanities: the intellectual and academic exploration of the human experience through a variety of social and cultural lenses. Humane: a quality of kindness, compassion, or consideration for other human and living beings; the human collective. If the humanities attempt to explore the interconnected challenges of climate change, public health, and racial injustice, among other pressing social justice issues, will humanity be rescued from the powers that try to destroy it?
