The Stanford Humanities
Center offers workshops on topics or problems of common
intellectual concern that bear on significant issues in the
humanities or humanistically-oriented social sciences, or on
the relationship of these disciplines to others. Typical
workshops are comprised of several faculty members and a
number of advanced graduate students, especially doctoral
students, who share research interests and hold regular
meetings to present and discuss works in
progress.
The aims of the workshops
are to (1) foster the development and realization of
research agendas in the humanities at Stanford, (2) open up
research possibilities at points where various research
interests intersect, (3) pursue ideas and issues that may
cross the usual disciplinary or institutional boundaries,
(4) provide ongoing contexts for graduate work, where
graduate students can receive the support and stimulation
that come from participation in the shaping of a shared
intellectual enterprise, and (5) help graduate students
develop the professional skills marking their transition
from their role as student to active scholars addressing a
community of peers.
