How can we expand the role of the humanities at Georgia Tech? What partnerships and funding opportunities can help us grow? How do we ensure the humanities remain central to Tech’s research and teaching mission?

We’ll tackle these questions and more at The Future of the Humanities at Georgia Tech Workshop on April 4  — and we need your expertise. 

“The humanities are at the heart of Georgia Tech’s mission to develop leaders who advance technology and improve the human condition,” said John Lyon, Chair of the School of Modern Languages. “This workshop is an opportunity to bring together faculty, funders, and national leaders to ensure that the humanities continue to thrive at the Institute.”

This full-day event hosted by the Schools of History and Sociology, Literature, Media, and Communication, Modern Languages, and Public Policy will explore how to expand and strengthen the humanities at Tech through faculty research, external partnerships, and institutional support.

It will feature lightning-round presentations from Georgia Tech faculty, discussions with representatives from Schmidt Scientific, the American Council of Learned Societies, and the Newberry Library, and a roundtable with humanities leaders from MIT, Carnegie Mellon, and more. A collaborative workshop will finish out the day, focusing on strengthening the institutional presence of the humanities at Georgia Tech. 

Join us to forge new opportunities in research, teaching, and beyond! Breakfast, lunch, and refreshments will be provided. Space is limited — please register by March 28.
