Talking of humanities: a new podcast from Sri Lanka surveys the scene. From its website:

In each episode of this podcast [“Who is Afraid of the Humanities?”], I interview students, researchers, academics, activists, and enthusiasts in the field of Arts and Humanities in Sri Lanka (and elsewhere) and attempt to highlight the role of Humanities in addressing important and pressing challenges through research, teaching and other academic/activist engagements. The objectives of this podcast are twofold; to call for active intervention within and among diverse fields in the Humanities in a bid to ‘resurrect’ the discipline from decades of institutional and intellectual neglect, and to record and archive academic debates, perspectives, dialogues on research and teaching in the Arts and Humanities and how, in individual/collective/institutionalized ways, the Arts and Humanities students, scholars, activists and enthusiasts attempt to counter this long-standing disciplinary crisis. This podcast is conducted in Tamil, Sinhala and English.
