...the "humanities" can mean very different things in different parts of the world - even if we limit ourselves to the anglophone world. E.g., in some countries, the field of linguistics is part of humanities, in other countries it isn't. Same for anthropology and economics.

The definition by Jeffrey Wilson that "the humanities study the things humans make" does not do justice to global diversity. No essentialist definition will satisfy all humanities practices. We need a practice-based definition that looks at what humanities scholars actually do.
