Empowering the World with the Human Experience
We are a collaborative research, creative, and social innovation incubator in the College of Arts and Letters at 国产伦理. We help foster synergies among activists, artists, scholars, engaged global citizens, and local community stakeholders who are searching for meaningful ways to reshape people's lives.
Above all else, we are humanists that believe people - when given access to critical tools, skills, and literacies - can become agents of transformation in our society. We serve as stewards of such critical sensibilities, seeking creative, innovative, and multidisciplinary opportunities to engage students, serve our communities, and participate as citizens. In short, we aim to provide future leaders in the arts, the humanities and in public service with the knowledge, skills, and training they need to become global innovators and implement sustainable change.
One of the ways we accomplish these goals is through our interdisciplinary Master of Arts degree (MA) program in the Humanities.
We also serve as a key community outreach and engagement arm for the University, sponsoring and hosting an array of speakers, performers, and public forums as part of our Humanities in Hampton Roads initiative.
