About

The UR Humanities Center will be a cross-school, cross-departmental structure that advocates for the essential role of the humanities at UR and infuses humanistic methodologies and questions into the intellectual and cultural life across all five Schools at UR. In keeping with the University’s mission, the Center will be guided by commitments both to disciplinary and interdisciplinary work in the humanities, foregrounding an understanding of the humanities as a cluster of practices rather than a discrete set of departments or majors. The Center will be guided by the values of curiosity, humility, critical thinking, hospitality, voluntary participation, sustainability, and enchantment with the world.
