Mission Statement

The Whitney Humanities Center was inaugurated in 1981 as an interdisciplinary institution built upon Yale's longstanding commitment to the humanities, designed to enable and enhance research, thinking, and scholarly exchange in all fields of the humanities and throughout the University. The Center seeks to support and strengthen the activities of faculty and students in the humanities and neighboring fields by creating an intellectual community that transcends departmental boundaries and by fostering collegial dialogue, informed debate, and the pursuit of new fields of inquiry. The Center's programs include symposia, lectures, faculty seminars and working groups. Some of these bring distinguished visitors to the University; others are primarily designed for free and informal exchange of ideas among faculty and students on topics of more than disciplinary interest.
