0:28Now PlayingStephanie Koff, Greg Olear, and their guest, Brooke Harrington, discuss how the growing disdain for humanities and English degrees is creating a dangerous lack of imagination in society. By stripping away these disciplines, we lose the critical tools needed to identify societal failures and, more importantly, the ability to dream up a better future. When we cannot imagine alternatives, it becomes far too easy for those in power to manipulate our collective perception.
