About · Humanities & Interdisciplinary Studies
Bring cultural, philosophical and intercultural perspectives into conversation.
The School of Humanities & Interdisciplinary Studies provides a home for enquiry across texts, cultures and ideas. Its fields connect close reading and interpretation with broader questions about society, values and communication. Interdisciplinary study encourages learners to consider how a question changes when approached through a different intellectual tradition.
