Global Humanities at Simon Fraser University

At Simon Fraser University's Department of Global Humanities, students read and study the great texts of Western and Eastern civilizations, from Ancient Greece to Modern Germany, Taoism to Christianity, and from Italian frescos to Chinese film. Humanities courses appeal to students who are curious about many diverse areas, such as classical and medieval studies, modern thought and culture, Renaissance humanism, and eastern and western religions. Crossing disciplinary boundaries, students learn to pose questions that address concerns central to the human condition.
