the author of that needs a freaking life.

But an education in images should not simply be a standard art-survey course—though I would strongly defend the pedagogical value of survey courses, which are being unwisely marginalized or dismantled outright at many American colleges. Thanks to postmodernism, strict chronology and historical sweep and synthesis are no longer universally appreciated or considered fundamental to the graduate training of humanities professors.

She might have had a point, but she was whining too much in my opinion. I just don’t think that people need to be educated in images. What for?
