What Difference Do We Make?

Research at the Stanford Humanities Center

Celebrate the Fellows is an annual event that takes a deep dive into the importance of humanities research to the world, by highlighting the projects that Humanities Center fellows are pursuing for the year.


How does the research conducted at the Humanities Center make a difference in the world? How do our fellows manage to keep that difference in sight as they do the work of scholarship? Three current Humanities Center fellows will provide brief responses to these questions, followed by a discussion with Q&A.
