Strategic Working Groups

The Townsend Center’s Strategic Working Group program, generously funded by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, brought diverse faculty together to reconnect the fundamental questions of the humanistic disciplines with changing historical circumstances and emerging areas of knowledge; to bring basic humanistic questions to bear on a world shaped by new social and scientific developments; and to explore the ways in which dynamic historical forces in turn compel humanists to re-think fundamental questions.
