Welcome to 2026-2027 at the Humanities Institute!
A Note from our Director, John Christman:
This will be another exciting year for the Institute. We look forward to continuing our support of humanities faculty and students, both in their research and teaching. Our Faculty and Graduate Student Resident Fellows will be sharing their work throughout the year (see our listserv for dates), and we will be supporting a number of other events throughout the fall and spring. Stay informed by joining our listserv, following us on social media, or checking back here.
