For two decades, we were told the humanities are moribund and we only need STEM, and now we're reached a point where the biggest innovations in STEM are raising fundamentally humanist questions about the nature of personhood and identity that require philosophy, art, history, and religion to answer.

I had the great honor of meeting Nikki Giovanni in high school. She spent a whole class session with us, had lunch with us, and then gave one of the most powerful talks I have ever heard. We thank her for her insight, her power, and her graciousness. Now, may she soar on into the great unknown! 🕊️🕊️🕊️
