The initiative fosters revitalization of intellectual and institutional relationships between the sciences and the humanities. Aiming to break down what C.P. Snow called a “Two Cultures” division between the humanities and the sciences, WIH creates a new interdisciplinary learning community and public intellectual dynamic. WIH fosters collaborative research partnerships across the disciplines. We also explore collaborative scientific and humanistic strategies and resources for funding and project development.
To achieve our mission, we engage in the following activities: a Friday WIH lunch presentation series; symposia featuring keynote lectures, presentations of new collaborative research projects, and roundtable discussions; a major “What Is Human?” conference; a collective publication project; and curricular innovations.
