Wiebke Denecke and Tristan Brown have garnered a grant from the MIT Integrated Learning Initiative (MITili) on “Measuring the Impact of Humanities Learning in an Age of STEM.” This project aims to analyze and assess the impact of humanistic learning on MIT undergraduates, enriching the debate at MIT and other institutions about the value and new challenges for our humanities curricula, and supplying policy-decision bodies at MIT with valuable data to guide their decisions over how to design the best possible learning experience for graduates.
