CWEST at Temple University is a study group within "The Center for Humanities at Temple" CHAT
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 10th 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:
