 Cornell's Society for the Humanities was established in 1966 as one of the first humanities institutes in North America. Located in the historic home of Cornell's first president, A.D. White, the society brings distinguished Visiting Fellows and Faculty Fellows together each year to pursue research on a broadly inter-disciplinary focal theme. Each Fellow offers one experimental, innovative seminar each year on his or her research topic. In addition, over 100 lectures, workshops, colloquia, and conferences are organized at the Society each year by Cornell's humanities faculty. For over four decades, the Society's presence at Cornell has fostered path-breaking inter-disciplinary dialogue and theoretical reflection on the humanities at large. Many of its former fellows are now internationally recognized figures in the humanities.
