The Humanities Center is a space and community that aims to foster humanistic inquiry on campus understood in broad, interdisciplinary terms.
At the Humanities Center at Lehigh University, we seek partnerships and collaborations across the Lehigh campus to enrich the study of the human condition in all its various dimensions: cultural, technological, artistic, medical, economic, and political. In coordination with colleges, departments, programs and other academic units on campus, we aim to investigate what human beings are, have been, or will be; what human beings do, have done or will do; in the world as it is, it was or will be.
We believe that the humanities are an essential aspect of a holistic modern education and a key ingredient in all meaningful scholarship, research and discussion about the modern world. The Humanities Center’s mission is also always up for amendment through thoughtful and future-oriented discussion and collaboration among interested staff, students and faculty.
