The arts and humanities bring multiple benefits to students, and society as a whole, but policymakers often dismiss them as lacking value when pitted against STEM subjects. In this episode of Campus talks, a vice chancellor–artist and a classicist explain why the arts and humanities are so vital to a healthy, well-informed society; the specific lessons and skills these subjects engender in those who study them; and how university educators can foreground these.
Featuring:
Michael Scott, pro vice chancellor international and professor of classics and ancient history at the University of Warwick. Michael’s research explores the intersection of ancient history and archaeology in the Mediterranean region and beyond. He has published numerous books on the ancient world for the popular market and written and presented TV series on the BBC, ITV, History Channel and National Geographic.
Mark Power, vice chancellor and chief executive of Liverpool John Moores University and professor of higher education leadership, as well as a practicing artist. Mark has worked at LJMU for 44 years, having started as senior technician in the fine art department at what was then Liverpool Polytechnic. He has maintained his internationally recognized work as an artist alongside his academic career throughout this time.
