Dear Tipsters, I have vigorously tried to make the case here at Bishop's that psychology is at the heart of the "liberal arts" mission. As the author points out, the social sciences require quantitative reasoning, communication skills and information literacy. To which I would add for psychology: content that overlaps with biology, chemistry, other social sciences, philosophy and the arts. What other discipline does all this?
