Stanford Humanities Center
The 1891 Lectures in the Humanities
In 1891, thirty-five scholars gathered to form a community in a new university. In that spirit, this series welcomes new humanities senior faculty to the Stanford community to present their work. Join Matthew D. Morrison on Jan. 27.
Our programs strengthen humanities research through the rigorous exchange of ideas among students, faculty, and the community at large. Enjoy this look back at the past academic year.
For 45 years, the Stanford Humanities Center has been the most comprehensive and ambitious university-based institute of its kind. Your support will help us maintain our distinction.
Some other disciplines solve problems. We return to the problems that can never be solved but must be addressed again by each intellectual generation in its own ways.
