Past Events

Since its founding in the 2001, the Center for the Humanities has organized an array of seminars, symposia, and other events to highlight some of the most influential, innovative, or emerging fields of scholarship within the humanities. Each year the Center has focused on an annual theme and invited world-renowned scholars who inform our discussions.

As the Center's programming continues to evolve, we hope to augment the variety of opportunities avialable to facutly, students, and the Grinnell College community more broadly, as we continue in our mission to foreground exciting work taking place within the many disciplines and fields that comprise the humanities.
