About

The mission of the Center for Humanities Communication (CHC) is to help recognize, train, and support humanities communicators — both professionals (similar to “science communicators”) placed across a broad spectrum of organizations and media, and “new voices” of the young and old across the spectrum of society. Through our Humanities Communication Training Institute (HumComm) we help students, early-career professionals, retired people, and others who have a passion for or expertise in the humanities to enter organizations, professions, and media roles that bring the humanities to the public. Our related mission is to help create digital and media tools, resources, and high-quality examples of effective humanities communication—all shared through an open-source and open-access digital Humanities Communication Interchange (HumSource).
