About this user

The College of Arts and Sciences Center for the Humanities at the University of Miami is dedicated to supporting humanities, arts, and interpretive social science research and teaching, as well as to bringing to the Miami community an awareness of the importance of the humanities for a more informed understanding of our own and other cultures. Through lectures. conferences, seminars, and workshops, scholars will present their work, elicit critical responses, and stimulate public awareness and debate about the humanities. The goal of the Center is to provide mutual understanding among groups and cultures, provide support for research in the humanities, and enrich the intellectual culture of the university and community.

The establishment of a Center of the Humanities was identified as one of the desired goals of the strategic plan of the College of Arts and Sciences, under the leadership of Dean Michael Halleran. During 2007-2008, a faculty committee submitted to the Dean a proposal concerning the establishment of such a Center, including suggestions regarding its administration, activities, facilities, and funding.

In fall 2008, Dean Halleran appointed as Director, Mihoko Suzuki, Professor of English, as well as a faculty advisory committee to establish guidelines for the Center's programs and activities. Following a national search for an Associate Director, Kyle Siebrecht, who holds an M.M. in Musicology, was appointed. During spring 2009, the Center announced its inaugural group of faculty and dissertation fellows.

The College of Arts and Sciences Center for the Humanities at the University of Miami is the first and to date only such Center in South Florida. The Center is a member of the Consortium of Humanities Centers and Institutes and the National Humanities Alliance.
