Citizens and Leaders: The Public Role of the Humanities

Bannan Institute Spring 2015: Leadership and the Intellectual Life
Tradition, Innovation, and Transformation

Martha Nussbaum,
Ernst Freund Distinguished Service Professor of Law and Ethics, University of Chicago

People sometimes dismiss liberal arts education as useless.  But any country needs citizens who can think critically, discuss world issues knowledgeably, and understand the point of view of someone whose background and interests differ from their own. These abilities are nourished by the humanities and the arts, so they play a vital role in education at all levels.

Co-sponsored by Faculty Development, Dean’s Office of the College of Arts & Sciences, Undergraduate Studies, Philosophy Department, Classics Department, and School of Law
