Humanities Futures

Despite proclamations about the humanities in crisis, humanities majors are in high demand for skills unique to their course work, including critical thinking, collaboration, and communication, and their ability to engage with technology’s social and ethical dimensions. Illinois hosts burgeoning tech industries in areas like Chicago and St. Louis’s Metro East. Those tech industries offer a wealth of new careers that blend technology and the humanities, like data storytelling and civic technology. Humanities Futures is telling the story of those careers and laying out the wealth of opportunities and avenues for new graduates to pursue their passions.
