Margaret Chase Smith Essay: The Right Of Independent Thought, Jonathan F. Fanton
Maine Policy Review
This essay by Jonathan F. Fanton investigates the relationship between the humanities and the right of independent thought, as described by Senator Margaret Chase Smith in her “Declaration of Conscience” speech.

Margaret Chase Smith Essay: The Urgency Of Democracy, William D. Adams
Margaret Chase Smith Essay: The Urgency Of Democracy, William D. Adams
Maine Policy Review
In primary and secondary schools in Maine and across the country, classroom time devoted to civics and American political history, along with many humanities subjects, is under increasing pressure. William D. Adams argues that failure to teach these subjects is related to a decline in meaningful political participation and civic engagement of all kinds in the United States. He draws connections between a healthy democracy and democratic citizenship and the ability to think critically, to imagine alternatives, to advance the common good, and to feel empathy and respect for others that a robust humanities education encourages.
Not A Big Stretch: Community College Humanities, Ronald G. Cantor
Not A Big Stretch: Community College Humanities, Ronald G. Cantor
Maine Policy Review
Today’s community colleges provide low-cost access to degrees in the humanities and social sciences as well as in technical fields and the trades.

The humanities enrich our world while inspiring insights that help us to achieve practical …
Humanizing The Humanities: A Historical, Cultural, And Philosophical Examination Of The Disintegration Of Humanities Higher Education, Nicholas Moore
Humanizing The Humanities: A Historical, Cultural, And Philosophical Examination Of The Disintegration Of Humanities Higher Education, Nicholas Moore
Honors College
This essay is an examination of the multifaceted reasons humanities education in American colleges is losing standing and funding. Historical, cultural, and philosophical perspectives are used to analyze the grounds that have justified the decreasing levels of support for humanities education. Historically, there is no longer any external justification provided, as there was when Sputnik was launched and the Cold War was endured. Culturally, the high culture model of ascension through the accrual of cultural signifiers is no longer the dominant form of raising one’s status, as it was when the humanities could be justified as cultural initiation. Philosophically, market-based …
