The humanities teach us to question the world around us in order to better understand our place within it. In the humanities, we seek to understand the nuances of cultural issues, to interpret human experience, and to appreciate the power of words and ideas. By studying humanities, we broaden our historical, ethical, social and international perspectives while enhancing ourselves intellectually and creatively.
Perspectives 2021 - 2022
This issue of Perspectives takes readers on a tour of the various spaces occupied by the College of Humanities. Each of the spaces offers a unique point of entry to the college and collectively underscore the evolving role of the humanities on the U campus and in the community to remind readers that the college is something more than a collection of seminar rooms, lecture halls and faculty offices.
