Mission
Statement
The IHC was founded in December of 1987 to implement the Humanities Initiative begun by the President of the University of California. Out of the conviction that research and teaching in the Humanities are becoming perilously specialized, the IHC regards its principal mission as encouraging interdisciplinary scholarship and instruction. It does this by supporting research projects, team-taught courses, lectures, seminars, and conferences. By hosting a wide array of interdisciplinary programs and activities -- an increasing number of which take place in Santa Barbara -- the IHC also serves as a vital link between the campus and the community. In addition, the IHC seeks to broaden the traditional definition of humanistic endeavors by sponsoring activities in the performing and visual arts.
