On November 22, I gave a paper on the value of the humanities at Forskningspolitisk seminar organized by Forskerforbundet in Oslo. All the papers from the seminar are now available online. I include the pdf of my own manuscript here: Moi_Verdien av humaniora November 2011. A short version of my own paper was published in Morgenbladet on December 2, 2011, under the title “Ã… lage det som er vanvittig vakkert” (“To make something insanely beautiful.”) You can download a pdf file here.
