The one thing I couldn’t quite figure out was the operative definition of the “humanities” here. Most of the projects she defines have more to do with politics, environmental issues, social science… So “applied” work in the humanities turns out to be mostly … social science?

Which makes sense in a way. It just seems easier to apply some parts of the humanities than others.
