Through specialized programs, events, funding opportunities and partnerships, we aim to explore fundamental questions of human existence, inspire civic and moral responsibility, foster global and comparative understanding, and illuminate the role of the humanities in addressing contemporary challenges. CHPS celebrates the boundless curiosity that defines what it means to be human.
