The DePaul Humanities Center

The DePaul University Humanities Center (DHC) aims to be a space for, create visibility of, and generally help to shape and promote the most cutting-edge, excellent work in the arts and humanities today.  The Center fosters discussion among the greater community; nurtures current and future leaders in the humanities, arts, and culture at large; and promotes collaborative, interdisciplinary thinking that demonstrates the integral role of the humanities and arts in a life of common flourishing.

It is the Center's firm belief that rigorous, first-rate scholarship can flourish in an environment that also reminds us why the work we do at the university is exciting and fun.  The Center is committed to the idea that if we are going to discover the truth of the matter—whatever might be meant by that—the best way to do that is by thinking together, thinking from a variety of different interdisciplinary viewpoints, and remembering that thinking is never separate from doing.
