To facilitate research, teaching, and scholarly exchange across fields, particularly supporting activities that transcend departmental boundaries. Under the leadership of Cajetan Iheka, who became Director in 2023, the Whitney Humanities Center is guided by a global vision of the humanities: one that accentuates heterogeneous humanistic traditions from around the world. With this commitment to global perspectives comes the resolve to prioritize an array of humanistic disciplines and interdisciplinary orientations, bringing fresh insights to new and enduring questions in the humanities.
