A new report on the state of humanities scholarship made waves in higher ed circles when it was released Friday, and has since drawn criticism from professors across the humanities.
Commissioned by Vanderbilt University chancellor Daniel Diermeier and Washington University in St. Louis chancellor Andrew Martin, the "State of Scholarship" report finds fault with disciplines including anthropology, philosophy and history—not for their content but for the quality of their scholarship, which the report's authors argue is too often driven by political ideology rather than the pursuit of truth and knowledge.
