Humanities Council

The purpose of the Humanities Council is to enhance support for and recognition of Humanities scholarship throughout the University and to encourage interdisciplinary research and communication among scholars from different areas of expertise. Through its varied programming initiatives, the Humanities Council aims to promote understanding of work in the Humanities, its relationship to other fields of inquiry, and the important role it plays at our university and in our world. The Humanities Council is a site where the values of interdisciplinarity and the liberal arts are promoted to the benefit of students, the College, and the University.

We invite you to explore our website and revisit often since its content will be regularly updated. Here you’ll find announcements of upcoming events, spotlights on Humanities research at the University, an archive of past events, information about current Council members, resources for support of research in the Humanities, and a place where you can send us your feedback.
