This chapter argues that it is necessary to spell out how the Humanities contribute to civic society because simply arguing that they are inherently valuable closes down space for reflection and dialogue. The chapter resists unfair caricatures of the Humanities and thinks creatively about the nature of what we might see as valuable (including, but not limited to, financial value). The chapter uses a recently published report from the University of Oxford entitled The Value of the Humanities: Understanding the Career Destinations of Oxford Humanities Graduates as a springboard for understanding how the Humanities contribute to civic society. It argues that Humanities skillsets are not some sort of unnecessary luxury that we can do without, but are indispensable for society. Key skills include empathy, communication, perspective-taking, strategic thinking, creativity, complex information processing, argumentation, and more. The chapter argues that Humanities skills are vital right now in our swiftly changing world and illustrates some of the ways in which compassionate, self-conscious, and attentive leaders and citizens can have a transformative impact on society. To illustrate this, it showcases several REFREF impact case studies where the STEM/HASS divide is surpassed and research has had a real-world and present-day impact.
