Hearing the Silent: Unspoken Stories of a Young Man｜Changgeng Yuan #Episode 38

In an era dominated by utilitarian drive and career anxiety, humanities education in higher education seems to be facing an unprecedented crisis. In this episode, we sit down with Dr Changgeng Yuan to discuss the realistic pressures within academia and the quiet struggles of modern students. Beyond the systemic anxieties and the recurring skepticism over the "practical utility" of the arts, we explore what remains resilient. How does humanities education operate on a granular, individual level? While it may not offer immediate solutions to societal pressures, it provides the essential tools to resist absurdity, cultivate critical clarity, and maintain a space for individual autonomy.
