Mission
Statement
Founded in 1987, the Humanities Institute at Stony Brook (HISB) has
three main missions: to stimulate new modes of interdisciplinary research
within the humanities and social sciences; to build bridges between
the human sciences and the medical, technical, and natural sciences;
and to reach out to the local community through public lectures and
film series. To achieve these ends, HISB sponsors Visiting Resident
Fellows and Two-day Distinguished Visiting Fellows to present their
new research and interact with Stony Brook and other local faculty
and students, organizes symposia and conferences, and works with community
groups on programs of broader interest. The Institute also designs
interdisciplinary graduate and faculty courses on unique themes linked
to HISB programming in any one year. As a catalyst for other entities
on campus, HISB policy has always been to work closely with other
untis, such as Women's Studies, Africana Studies, and most recently,
the Latin American and Caribbean Center and the Center for Science
Studies. We also regularly collaborate with the Stony Brook University
Medical School and with individual departments on campus.
