About the Center

Examining humanity

Humanists engage in unique practices of worldmaking. Using interdisciplinary methods of inquiry and diverse objects of study, humanities researchers examine shared aspects of humanity. In doing so, the humanities have always foregrounded vital questions.

The Center for the Humanities will promote the humanities by supporting collaborative and interdisciplinary research, innovative teaching, and public engagement across Missouri — and beyond.
