Mission
Statement
The Illinois Program for Research in the Humanities was established in 1997 to promote interdisciplinary study in the humanities, arts, and social sciences. The IPRH grants fellowships to U of I faculty and graduate students, who work in yearlong symposia on thematic topics such as “Violence,” “Beauty,” “Rupture,” and “Disciplinarity.” The program coordinates and hosts an annual conference; provides financial support to faculty and graduate student reading groups; coordinates numerous lectures and panel discussions; and hosts a yearlong film series coordinated with the annual theme. The IPRH offers a free yearlong humanities course for members of the community who live at or near the poverty level; the course is supported by the U of I and the Illinois Humanities Council, and taught by U of I faculty. In addition to its own programming, the IPRH shares its resources with other university departments and programs, serving as a major co-sponsor of lectures, programs, and conferences on campus throughout the year and coordinating its activities with other units wherever possible.
