Why Science needs the Humanities:Deborah Saucier at TEDxStMaryCSSchool

Why Science needs the Humanities Increasingly, students and employers are considering university education as a key piece of preparation for employment. This is especially the case for degrees in the STEM fields: science, technology, engineering and math. The prominence of STEM at the university has lead some to question the relevance of the humanities and social sciences in a STEM-based university education. I will argue that the skill sets that university graduates need to be successful are not only related to STEM disciplines, but that they rely intrinsically on the proficiencies that are the backbone of scholarly work in the humanities and social sciences.
