The National Humanities Center (NHC) offers transformative Summer Residencies and programs that connect leading scholars with critical, contemporary issues. Since 1978, Fellows have utilized this rich intellectual setting for individual research and the exchange of ideas across the humanities.

The Center builds vital bridges between academia and the working classroom, addressing both classic and contemporary aspects of human experience. Key projects focus on examining structural racism and race-based violence, resulting in award-winning books and profound conversations, such as "The Price of Injustice." Through resources like the Humanities in Class Digital Library, the NHC illuminates how the humanities shape our lives.
