The growth in the diversity of studies is not a flaw of the humanities, it is a feature. It the natural result of the growth in the sophistication and scope of what people think about.

In the time of Newton, natural philosophers studied the full scope of natural phenomena. Today, students can get undergraduate science degrees in molecular biology--a sub-sub-discipline that did not even exist 100 years ago. So, let's not pretend that science has not experienced its own diversity in areas of study.

But the point of liberal arts education is breadth. In a liberal arts curriculum, a women's studies major still takes some math and science, and a computer science major still takes some humanities and social sciences. A major is an area of concentration within a broad education, not a silo.

And science and technology do need cultural analysis. Not because one can "feel" code compiling, but because science and technology fields have their own cultures, and those cultures are prone to the same human tendencies as any other. Looking at the national conversation about diversity in technology, consider the possibility that maybe some folks in that field could benefit from taking a class in women's studies.
