Acerca de The Humanities in the World

A Podcast from University of Rochester Press What role do the humanities play in shaping our world? How can literature, history, philosophy, and the arts help us understand—and change—the societies we live in? The Humanities in the World is a podcast that brings together voices from across the globe to explore these urgent questions. Hosted by the University of Rochester Press, the series features conversations with researchers and thinkers working in a wide range of humanities disciplines. Each episode delves into the ways humanistic inquiry intersects with today’s social and political challenges—from climate justice to digital culture, from historical memory to ethical futures. Inspired by the mission of the academic book series The Humanities in the World, this podcast stands on its own as a space for dialogue, reflection, and engagement. It affirms a simple but powerful belief: that the humanities are not a luxury—they are essential to the ways we live, think, and imagine better worlds.

Samantha Pinto, (The University of Texas at Austin) and Nasser Rabbat (MIT) join us to examine how global narratives have often been shaped and repurposed to serve specific cultural and political agendas, and how historical figures and archaeological discoveries have been harnessed to propose specific visions of history and the world. The humanities can help us reveal these mechanisms and make us aware of these propagandistic manipulations.
