4Humanities interviews Humanities Watch. Ashley Champagne asks about the origins and mission of Humanities Watch, and the humanities’ place in society. From the exchange:

The point of my website is to demonstrate how the humanities are also in constant conversation with these practical and present interests: science, technology, healthcare, and business. As a matter of fact – and this is perhaps the basic point of the site – the humanities enable conversation (they teach the art of conversation): so with any of these fields — what I call our current energy centers, where there is a great deal of present focus and fascination — their relation to one another and to us require the arts and skills of the humanities. Just ask any scientist, technologist, or business person!
