| The College of Liberal Arts established the Center for the Humanities at Temple (CHAT) in 2003 to create an interdisciplinary forum that supports scholarship and intellectual inquiry in the humanities by Temple University faculty and graduate students. The Center seeks to bridge the disciplinary divides between departments and the University’s colleges by promoting broad, humanities-based conversations that connect scholars across scholarly fields and modes of inquiry. The Center sponsors conferences, lectures, discussions groups, pedagogical innovations, and research projects. Located on the tenth floor of Gladfelter Hall, the Center's comfortable quarters serve as a gathering place for scholars from across the disciplines to meet, enjoy social hours, and read the latest humanities-oriented journals and periodicals.
The Center sponsors a rich and diverse range of activities, including:
- Visits of distinguished scholars to campus
- Public lectures and conferences in the humanities for the campus and the community
- Research grants to faculty and students
- The Andrew W. Mellon Term Professorship in the Humanities
- The Center for the Humanities Post-Doctoral Fellowship in the Humanities
- Graduate Fellowship and Associateship programs
- Programs to strengthen interdisciplinary graduate and undergraduate studies in the humanities
- Contributions to planning and development across the humanities in the College of Liberal Arts
- Community programming
- Cooperation with national and international humanities institutions
The Center seeks to support research and teaching in the humanities throughout the University. Participation in the Center is open to faculty and students in all schools and colleges at Temple University. |
