What contributions can new interdisciplinary partnerships, innovative courses and the development of the digital humanities make to keep the field vibrant and to underscore the long-term benefits of the humanities, not only to academia but also to society as a whole? What are the latest developments in curricula and what are the new funding models in the humanities worldwide? Join our experts for international perspectives from the United States, Germany, and Canada as they discuss challenges and progress in the humanities.
