Collaboratory

The Humanities Collaboratory facilitates interdisciplinary inquiry into some of the most pressing problems facing contemporary society, by providing an organizational home for research projects that draw on humanistic methodologies to engage communities on and beyond campus.

The collaboratory serves as an incubator for new collaborative modes of scholarship, teaching and engagement. Among its activities, the collaboratory curates programming designed to spark new conversations and visions for the future of the humanities, and it actively explores new models of career diversity for humanities PhDs. While maintaining roots in the long-standing disciplines and departments, the collaboratory works to facilitate the formation of new constellations of humanities faculty and students—in working groups, initiatives and centers—all designed to create new knowledge through collaboration with communities on and beyond campus.
