Liberal arts are about intellectual freedom and creative, critical, and collaborative inquiry. While the class of 2020 is graduating, and most thought they were entering one of the best job markets, there are many questions and thoughts about the liberal arts jobs that they can secure during these times. Consider a few ways that liberal arts inquiry is playing out during the COVID-19 crisis.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> It\u2019s time to think outside the box while taking everything you\u2019ve learned from your liberal arts education the past four years and applying it to what you want to do.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Consider a few ways that liberal arts inquiry is playing out during the COVID-19 crisis:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">H<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">istory contextualizes COVID-19 within the narrative of past pandemics.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Political Science &amp; Peace Studies can explain the citizenship and civility required to deliberate policy around this crisis.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Philosophy can raise and examine moral, ethical, and existential questions surrounding the pandemic.&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">World Languages and Cultures provides us with the resources to work alongside global communities towards understanding the disease.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Graphic Design and Journalism visually and verbally transmit information accurately, persuasively, and ethically.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sociology works to support communities and institutions to serve individual needs better.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Religious Studies helps us understand how different religions around the world help and meet different spiritual needs during this time of extraordinary disruption and anxiety.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Creative Writing and Art can envision our struggles and triumphs speaking to our hearts and souls.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The liberal arts were never meant to be confined to a classroom.&nbsp; I wish I could tell people the correct path to take, but only you know which path is right for you.<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Your overall vision and destination do not need to change at all.&nbsp; It is about how you get there.
