View source for Heyman Center for the Humanities

The '''Heyman Center for the Humanities''' supposedly provides a forum where all the humanities departments can intersect. It is located in [[East Campus]] - swipe in or sign in via the regular EC entrance, then turn left. The center's director is [[Akeel Bilgrami]].

Ostensibly an interdisciplinary center, the governing board of the Heyman Center is a collection of veritable academic badasses. 

Programs housed within the Heyman Center include the [[Institute for Comparative Literature and Society]], the [[Center for the Study of Human Rights]], [[Society of Fellows in the Humanities]], and the [[Society of Senior Scholars]].

The center organizes a number of colloquia, lectures, and seminars including the [[Lionel Trilling Seminars]] and the [[Edward Said Memorial Lecture]].

The Center also sometimes feels like a refuge for a who's who of [[Columbia College]] and the [[Core Curriculum]]'s old guard, including [[William Theodore de Bary]], [[Peter Pouncey]], and a number of others (thanks most likely to the Society of Senior Scholars), though under Bilgrami's directorship the program has grown somewhat more radical.
