Issue Two: Winter 2021

Faculty of the Humanities, DLD College

​

 

This is the second issue of The Humanities Review. It covers

a sweeping canvas - from Nazis Germany to modern British poetry,

to threatened minority languages and endangered animal species,

taking in on its way classical philosophy, stopping briefly to consider education in the old GDR and then crossing some of London's many

bridges. The Humanities Review is nothing if not eclectic. In a time when

the Humanities are increasingly under threat in the universities and from

a larger society seemingly hell-bent on digitalising and monetising everything, it is good to know that the Humanities are alive and kicking at DLD College. Whatever the future holds, it will need young people who can think for themselves in an informed and independent fashion. Otherwise we run the risk of handing our lives over to dictators - men like Stalin believed that "Ideas are more powerful than guns. We would not let our enemies have guns, why should we let them have ideas".
