Initiatives
We open new ways of doing humanities research.
The Denbo Center is committed to exploring the arts and humanities in their fullest, while also responding to the ever-evolving technologies and needs of our modern society. We support the study of the arts and humanities from numerous perspectives, and we are proud to work with our colleagues in the social sciences and STEM, as well as UT Libraries, the UT Medical Center, the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and beyond. Through such collaborations we can grow the arts and humanities at UT and in our community.
