Julika Griem: Humanities help us to better understand many complex problems and to ask questions differently. The debate about the meaning and purpose of the humanities is constantly being heated up.
Humanities scholars work in human resources departments, science management, journalism, political consulting and further education. Subjects such as German studies, philosophy or art history are evaluated differently than medicine or engineering. The humanities are still largely studied by women, and other subject areas are clearly studied by other people, Griem says.
