Wiebke Denecke and Tristan G. Brown’s research on humanities education in STEM environments is helping students and educators rethink interdisciplinary learning. Their work, based at MIT and supported by the Integrated Learning Initiative, is featured in the 2025 article “The Pursuit of Humanities at Bronx Science,” which explores how STEM-focused students are actively engaging with humanistic approaches to deepen their understanding of science and society. At a time when high school is increasingly viewed as a launchpad into specialized training, their project shows how exposure to philosophy, history, languages and culture can complement technical education in powerful ways.
