Environmental Humanities
Exploring a bond that is inextricably linked to our literary, historical, and cultural lives.
The UT Humanities Center considers ecological issues as related to social justice, self expression, and existential considerations in all nine of our departmental disciplines.
The Humanities Center is excited to incorporate as many voices as possible in this new initiative, and programming kicked off with Black Ecologies Week at UT, in association with the one day conference Just Environments: Rivers and Waterways.
Watch for more programming in the year ahead.
UT ranks tenth in the country among all universities, public and private, in the number of NEH fellowships received between 2004 and 2022.
Graduate students chosen to spend a year in the UTHC working on their dissertations graduate, on average, 1.5 years sooner, publish their first book sooner, and receive better job offers than other students in the humanities.
Faculty who spend a year at the University of Tennessee win NEH and other awards and publish award-winning books and research projects more quickly.
