How to Reopen the American Mind: Hertog Conversation with Jon Baskin & Anastasia Berg

Are the humanities in crisis? The pandemic has exacerbated trends already underway at many universities and colleges – from declining enrollment in disciplines like history and literature to program and budget cuts, including the closure of entire departments. But in a recent New York Times essay, Jon Baskin and Anastasia Berg – editors of The Point – argue that we should look beyond the academy for a renewal of humanistic inquiry. In this conversation, they will explore how new institutions and ventures can help sustain an enduring conversation about how to live well.

This conversation was moderated by Professor Bryan Garsten, director of the Yale Humanities Program. It took place on January 29, 2021.
