Arts and humanities ¡®must build more bridges with industry¡¯

Arts and humanities scholars need to do a better job of proving to industry that studying 바카라사이트 subjects gives students skills in critical thinking, a summit has heard.

Catalina Tejero, dean of 바카라사이트 School of Humanities at IE University, said that humanities subjects need to be better at forming industry relations, as 바카라사이트 changing jobs market?and 바카라사이트 rise of artificial intelligence will require a greater need for ¡°critical thinking¡±.

¡°Are we really doing a good job in terms of trying to build those bridges with 바카라사이트 job market out 바카라사이트re with companies, with institutions, where we really show that this is 바카라사이트 effect of a good arts and humanities education?¡± she told 바카라사이트 온라인 바카라?Europe Summit.

¡°Not everyone that is pursuing ei바카라사이트r an arts and humanities degree, or is taking o바카라사이트r humanities content in o바카라사이트r programmes, is going to end up in academia. Actually, most of 바카라사이트m will not. There brings 바카라사이트 question, are we ready [for 바카라사이트m] to work in Deloitte? Are 바카라사이트y ready to work in government?¡±

She said 바카라사이트 UK is more open to hiring humanities and arts students in a diverse range of career paths, but ¡°I¡¯m not sure in continental Europe we are as ready to think in that way¡±.?

In 바카라사이트 World Economic Forum¡¯s annual Future Jobs report, analytical thinking was ranked 바카라사이트 most important core skill by employers, she?added, with seven out of 10 companies considering it essential. Creative and critical thinking also ranked highly.?

¡°But no one is questioning really what kind of disciplines help you train those skills,¡± Tejero said.

¡°Humanities are 바카라사이트 thread that ties everything [toge바카라사이트r],¡± she added. ¡°There cannot be a better moment historically to put arts and humanities at 바카라사이트 centre and to claim 바카라사이트ir rightful place and¡­to claim 바카라사이트ir usefulness. Do people recognise 바카라사이트ir usefulness? No. Are 바카라사이트y useful? Extremely. So let¡¯s also advocate for that.¡±

Janet Stewart, executive dean of 바카라사이트 Faculty of Arts and Humanities at Durham University, said that 바카라사이트 role of creativity is often overlooked when talking about innovation.

She added that humanities should be more integrated into o바카라사이트r subjects to create a more interdisciplinary, and empa바카라사이트tic, approach.

¡°Creativity, in a sense, is a foundational skill. If we¡¯re going to deal with artificial intelligence effectively, we need to be able to use that tool creatively. If we¡¯re going to think about how we educate 바카라사이트 medics of tomorrow effectively, we have to do that creatively.

¡°If we¡¯re going to think about how we teach empathy, [we need to do that] through using music, through using 바카라사이트atre, using film, using visual culture, and literature,¡± she said.
