One thought on “The Humanities Need To Be This Good”
I heard her speak at the APS meetings in 2008. I was also on the program. Thankfully she spoke after me, otherwise I might not have had the courage to proceed. Beyond being amazed, all I could think was how much I hoped my kids might get the chance to learn from such an effective teacher. I joked with the anthropologist sitting next to me that Boas might never have drifted into the social sciences had he been her graduate student. I wonder who in the humanities or social sciences is as effective?
