Arts Emergency co-founder Neil Griffiths joins Bryony Armstrong to talk about:

• How studying arts and humanities helps you to pursue work in culture, politics and activism
• Why all minoritised people need the option to study arts and humanities
• The power of seeing yourself represented in culture
• Breaking down the privilege associated with pursuing arts and humanities
• How reading literature can spark world-changing ideas
• The need for diversity in creative and cultural industries and politics
• Why it doesn’t make economic sense to push STEM over arts and humanities
• The insidious nature of anti-arts and humanities government policies
