Stanford Humanities Center

As one of the leading institutes for advanced study, the Stanford Humanities Center forms a crossroads where the intellectual and the social merge to provide a supportive environment. Historians, philosophers, literary critics, anthropologists, and other humanists of diverse ages, academic ranks, and departmental and institutional affiliations contribute to and learn from one another's work while widening the role of the humanities in our society. These efforts lie at the heart of Stanford's mission to foster intellectual exchange, to realize interdisciplinary research agenda, and to bring scholarly ventures to fruition.
