Episode 56: On Martha Nussbaum and Chapter One of Not For Profit: Why Democracy Needs the Humanities

⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Welcome back to Yeah, I Got a F#%*ing Job With a Liberal Arts Degree, a show that takes a deep look at the humanities and higher education more generally. Join professor of history and humanities Dean Jeff Crane as he interviews a range of guests about the value of the liberal arts and education as a personal and public good.

This episode focuses on Dr. Martha Nussbaum and chapter one of her book Not For Profit: Why Democracy Needs the Humanities. From the Princeton University Press website "In this short and powerful book, celebrated philosopher Martha Nussbaum makes a passionate case for the importance of the liberal arts at all levels of education."

Not for Profit is a bit of a bible for our show and Martha Nussbaum and her work have been mentioned too many times to count. We will be dedicating one episode to each of the chapters in the book to draw attention to this important content! Watch out for those shows in the coming months!
