Student Humanities Seminar

Faculty and students at Haverford enjoy continuous intellectual challenge from the classroom to the public sphere, in a variety of formal and informal settings. The Humanities Center supports serious exchange among students, on their own terms, with its sponsorship of student-initiated and directed seminar(s) each fall. Individually, or in cooperation with a second student from another major, students are invited early in the Spring term to submit a one-page seminar proposal outlining a theme or subject of interest that they would like to explore. From these submissions, the Humanities Center Steering Committee chooses worthy proposals. Then the Humanities Center solicits applications from interested students across majors. Those selected are appointed Humanities Center Undergraduate Fellows.
