Great Lakes Institute of Public Humanities

The Great Lakes Institute of Public Humanities promotes the study of the liberal arts and sciences within the framework of a regional, environmental ethic. We seek to embody the union of labour and intellectual reflection, by which both are revitalized through mutual engagement and confrontation with adversity and persistence. We strive to cultivate a community of scholar-workers with a committed relationship to the land, the ability to think lucidly and constructively, and a dedication to practices of aesthetic witness.
