When public debate feels loud and shallow, we need disciplines that reward depth, evidence, and context. The humanities and social sciences train people to slow down, analyze, and think clearly. #TalkAboutHumanities #TalkAboutSocialSciences

🔥 We need more specialists on Eastern Europe & Eurasia! In an increasingly globalized world, area studies expertise is more important than ever. 👏 Join us! 👉 For details, see: aseees.org/news/join-as... #TalkAboutSocialSciences #TalkAboutHumanities #aseees

We need digital humanities because knowledge only matters if people can access it. Access to scholarly resources should not depend on geography, privilege, or institutional walls. When we remove barriers, we turn preservation into participation. #TalkAboutHumanities

We need philosophers because they teach us how to think deeply and clearly about the most fundamental questions: what matters, what’s true, and how we should live. #TalkAboutHumanities

We’re happy to participate in the @acls1919.bsky.social campaign to #TalkAboutHumanities and #TalkAboutSocialSciences! Here are some responses from our authors and editors about the importance of experts in these fields.

#TalkAboutSocialSciences #TalkAboutHumanities #aseees

We need more humanists & social scientists because these are the fields that help us understand each other across different cultures, languages, and beliefs. #TalkAboutHumanities #TalkAboutSocialSciences

According to Humanities Indicators, humanities majors work across a wide range of sectors, earn substantially more than non-degree holders, & report high job satisfaction. The "unemployable humanities grad" is a myth. We need more humanists. #TalkAboutHumanities #TalkAboutSocialSciences

We need historians because evidence doesn’t explain itself. Context does not simply exist. It is built through research, interpretation, and critical analysis. What stories have you uncovered in the historical record? #TalkAboutHumanities 🗃️
