The Decline of the Humanities? A Conversation with Mary Beard

For this term's Munich History Lecture, world-renowned classicist Mary Beard sits down with LMU professor John Weisweiler to test the case for and against a supposed decline of the humanities. What do the humanities contribute to a vibrant democracy in an era of funding pressure and growing distrust of universities?

Introduction:
Professor Julia Burkhardt, Dean of the Faculty of History and the Arts
