If you want to spend a life studying literary/cultural history, the path of least resistance rn is clear. Go to grad school in CS or Information Science & take courses in the humanities. There are a thousand interesting research questions down that road, and there are jobs.

I hasten to say that there are lots of other paths. For instance, yes, you can do it the other way around. There are great English/History programs that will support your forays into other disciplines. My tweet (which I'm going to pin) is about "the path of least resistance rn."

People don't know that path exists. But it exists, and the people pursuing it are sometimes getting multiple job offers.

The CS with the white supremacy, toxic masculinity, fascist, racist as hell, homophobic to students, faculty, and people working in the industry? So who is going to get these jobs other than white cisgendered men?

STEM w/out analysis, historiography, or a basic understanding of how toxic white racist and sexist CS is, will only "save" white men. This is the vision for who?
