About the Center
Mission Statement:
Founded in 1983, the Institute for the humanities at the University of Illinois at Chicago seeks to foster an intellectually vital, interdisciplinary community of scholars working
in one of the nation’s most exciting urban research centers. As the hub of humanities
scholarship on campus, the Institute provides a forum for intellectual exchange among
faculty and students at UIC and other colleges and universities in the region as well as
an avenue through which research in the humanities can become relevant and accessible
to the urban public.
The UIC Institute for the Humanities sponsors an annual fellowship
program for faculty and advanced graduate students, supports a series of working groups
and seminars, and hosts regular public events including lectures and conferences.
