I remain convinced that one of the main reasons for the growth of "scholarly activism" is academics giving in to neoliberal discourse and internalizing that the Humanities must be "relevant" and must solve some kind of perceived problem. They cannot simply exist by themselves.
There is heavy pressure for today's academics to become "scholar activists". I have always been sceptical as I believe it is deeply unprofessional to bring personal politics into the classroom. Such scholar activism is presented as an unequivocal good. But what I have seen...

The irony here is that most non-English-native academics have no choice but to speak and read multiple languages (i.e. English and their own) if they want to engage with what is perceived to be the state of their field. It's not an "obsession", it's necessity.
academics who speak and read multiple languages are so obsessed with saying u can’t engage with ideas properly without speaking and reading multiple languages. funny

Some of them simply hate Christmas. But I think there's also some kind of weird "luxury beliefs" operating here. E.g. I signal my status and my cultural capital by proclaiming that I am above those old-fashioned seasoned-bound, vaguely religious rituals.

Exactly this. In my experience, much of UK Music academia is stuck in a "canon-deconstructive" mode that doesn't make sense . "Why do we listen to composer A all the time and not composer B?". In fact, most are not listening to composer A all the time, so the question is wrong.
Addendum to my last thread: for students of yesteryear who had some fair grounding in the classics of art, literature, music, some knowledge of philosophy and intellectual history, or who knew many major scientific innovations, not just in their own field…. (1)

What I find really funny is that they want masks to be a "symbol" that the pandemic is not over, of solidarity. Then when people reinterpret it as a symbol of everything that's been taken for us (as you so put it), then they are not a symbol anymore, they're just a little thing.

This is from the Good University Guide, on studying for a music degree: note how there's no specific mention of the historical study of music. (I'm going to be charitable and assume that nos. 1 and 3 will include *some* historical perspective, even as a means to an end).

I would say an understanding of the Bible is essential not only for the study of the Middle Ages, but for any kind of historical study of the Western world & of parts of the world colonized by the West.
If you don’t understand the Bible, you won’t understand the Middle Ages (or indeed the early modern era). The knowledge is simply indispensable.
Now, who’s going to hire me to teach said Introduction to the Bible for Historians module?

The animosity of English speakers against long sentences is deserving of detailed study.
Since we're discussing The Scarlet Letter, I just want to remind HS English teachers everywhere that it's the worst book in the typical American literature class.
Look at this first sentence. 136 words. And all the sentences are like that.

As a UG Musicology student and early in my PhD 15-20 years ago (🙄), matters of diversity were introduced in a "deconstructive" way: you knew your canon inside out, then you were given a shock through reading McClary or Solomon deconstructing the classics you knew and loved.

In the whole notation/no notation, classical/non-classical in HE debate, one of the assumptions that fascinate me is that, because many students do music outside classical settings, it follows naturally that this should be represented as well in what they learn in the classroom.

The pretense, from people who had access to such things from an early age, that things such as reading music notation, familiarity with the literary canon or basic knowledge of a foreign language are in fact not necessary to become a scholar, or are even downright oppressive.
People from working-class backgrounds often say that certain aspects of the culture in academia feel weird and alienating
Are there specific things we are doing that especially exacerbate this problem?

I read this novel and wrote this thread one year ago. Thinking back, the last year made some aspects of the novel even more poignant for me, as they reflect a lot of my experience in academia.
Having read a number of people talk very favourably about this book - as a sort of "cult classic", a great (perhaps with lower-case g) American novel - I decided to give it a go. My impression so far is very favourable, but for reasons I never thought would have a broader appeal.

In my 1st year in the UK, we sang "Torches" (from the popular Oxford Carols books) at the Uni choir - it said it was traditional Galician but I'd never heard it, and could never find it in any trad. compilation I searched.
Now the mystery is solved:it was composed by John Joubert
2/...as they seemed suitably upbeat and not too long. Dad wrote the carol, went to hear it at the school and suggested it to Novello’s for publication once permission had been granted for the translation. The melody is entirely Dad’s, not trad Galician as is sometimes suggested.

Very true - see also the demise of "hard" skills (i.e. those that cannot easily be faked and couched in rhetoric), such as musical analysis, musical palaeography, language study as an auxiliary but compulsory subject.
What Aaron is describing is a kind of doom loop: students are primed to think the humanities are easy and faculty are incentivized against making courses difficult, which in turn makes it even easier to justify defunding the humanities under the guise that they’re not “rigorous.”
