What is creativity? 🎨 ✒️ 🎶 Creative minds may use their imagination to create art, stories, and music. Is that it?

Creative thinking is actually much more versatile, useful from problem-solving, to data analysis and interpretation.

Fancy developing your creativity? Check out our course pages!

This is about the time when willpower to fulfil NY resolutions begins to dwindle... Here is our advice:

Be kind to yourselves;
Be realistic with your goals (it's ok to cut down on that wordcount!);
Do something nice every day (this is the most important piece of advice!).

Why study Humanities? Delving deep into the complexities of the human makes you more likely to understand the needs of others and be empathetic to their concerns. Think of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein: in the end, do you empathise with the charismatic scientist, or the revenge-seeking Creature?

On this day in 1929, the American market 'crashed'. F. Scott-Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby presciently explored the darker side of the American Dream in 1925.

Study literature. Become a critical reader. Learn from the past, and create a better future. buff.ly/aKsTVvB

It's publication time again! We are pleased to share @monicagermana.bsky.social's article on the Arctic setting in Guillermo del Toro's adaptation of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. Is Del Toro's representation of the Arctic, perhaps, too conservative? @uk.theconversation.com
