The WVU Humanities Center ignites, supports, and promotes humanistic inquiry. We are the cultural and intellectual hub of West Virginia University, proudly bringing together a strong community of scholars and artists to showcase the vital role of humanities scholarship and creativity in a thriving and just society.
What we do and why
Healthcare is Human is a health humanities project created by Ryan McCarthy, MD in partnership with portrait photographer Molly Humphries. This project has now expanded to a multidisciplinary documentation of the ongoing struggles of hospital workers.
Each year, the Humanities Center highlights the diversity of Appalachia by celebrating the work of a writer of color from the region.
The skills developed in the humanities are highly prized in workplaces. We want to help students leverage these skills to prepare for careers in a variety of industries like business, tech, or medicine.
The Humanities Center is proud to partner with WVU's faculty to support humanities-related projects by offering four types of competitive grants.
Our monthly newsletter is the best way to keep up to date with all the humanities
happenings on campus. We'll bring you updates and opportunities from the Center
and our partners on campus.
