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.

More than a decade ago, Natalie Stillman-Webb, writing and rhetoric studies professor/lecturer at the University of Utah, was paying for her children’s tennis lessons when the front desk attendant said he recognized her name from an online class he had taken the previous semester. After asking the young man’s name, she remembered an excellent paper he had written and commented on it. However, he was confused. He knew he had seen her name before but did not realize that the robot he thought ran his online class was a living, breathing member of the university faculty.
