Public Humanities at Rice University
The Humanities Research Center at Rice University began its Public Humanities Initiative in 2007. This initiative presents important speakers to public audiences, addressing matters of broad humanistic concern and public interest. The HRC invites the Houston community to the campus of Rice University for lectures, discussions, and other presentations on a wide range of topics organized each season by an overarching theme.
Through funding of faculty, graduate, and undergraduate student fellowships; interdisciplinary workshops; international conferences; external faculty visitors; document archives; research seminars; and most recently its Public Humanities Initiative, the HRC strives to broaden the scope and depth of humanities-based conversations throughout the larger intellectual community.
The HRC
The Humanities Research Center at Rice University serves to foster research and interest in the humanities, broadly understood.
