Welcome to the Humanities Initiative

NYU is home to hundreds of humanists and dozens of humanities-related departments, programs, and centers. We do our best not only to stay in constant contact with these groups so that we can advertise talks, events, and faculty publications, but to be responsive to the many needs of NYU’s diverse humanities community. If your department or program is missing from this list, let us know. And if there is a newsworthy item you would like to pass along, please do so, to 212-998-2190.
