Looking for an opportunity to reflect on new topics, break out of your comfort zone and find common ground with people who have differing viewpoints than your own? The humanities ask us to think deeply about what it means to be human and help us build connections to one another in a world that can often be confusing. They provide a pathway for exploration across moments of beauty, 丑陋, 希望, 绝望, 欢乐与悲伤, and help us analyze and respond to those moments. The 皇冠体育投注 Center for the 人文学科 enriches the university experience through programming that requires an open mind and a desire to engage in thought-provoking conversations. Our events are open to all students, 不考虑专业.
The humanities are fields of study that focus on human society and culture. They demand us to ask questions, they compel us to think creatively, and they challenge us to consider new ideas and outside perspectives. They require that we look at the past to prepare for the future. The humanities add value to a Carroll education by providing students with a rich foundation to more broadly understand the human narrative.
通过特殊活动, programming and scholarship that leads to meaningful conversation and reflection, the 皇冠体育投注 Center for the 人文学科 enhances and expands upon the academic experience. We help students gain insights and context that equip them to interact with comprehension, compassion and action — in the classroom, 在他们的职业中, and in the complexity of today’s global society.
The Center encourages students to contribute to the broader field of knowledge by sharing the research and insights they gain through participation in our activities.
The 皇冠体育投注 Center for the 人文学科 stimulates engagement in 人文学科-based content and methodologies across our undergraduate population. The Center supports 人文学科-based inquiry by promoting a model we call “Lean In/Push Out”: a two-fold process that encourages scholars and students to “lean in” to contemplative practices and then to “push out” their research and insights to the public. By sponsoring annual events, such as our Student to Scholar Lecture series, as well as through providing fellowship opportunities and supporting relevant campus initiatives, the Center for the 人文学科 strives to augment the undergraduate experience and to highlight 皇冠体育投注’s liberal arts heritage. Ultimately the Center seeks to motivate all undergraduates, 不考虑专业, to engage in 人文学科-based inquiry in order to understand the human experience more deeply and in order to forge empathetic connections throughout the university, 社区, and our ever-changing world.
