Emergent | Collaborative | Transformative
Integrated arts and humanities methods and practices provide indispensable tools for understanding our place in the world — methods that forefront deep observation, listening and empathy, and skills to communicate diverse viewpoints and imaginative possibilities. These tools include creative action, contextualization, representation and synthesis — modes of inquiry that account for our relations, interdependencies and interconnections. By breaking down barriers to meaningful collaboration, the Global Arts + Humanities is uniquely positioned to become a national leader in demonstrating the transformative power of cross-disciplinary collaborations that amplify creative and humanistic modes of inquiry and discovery.
“Since its inception, the Global Arts + Humanities has been a strong supporter of interdisciplinary work across the arts and humanities and beyond. Whether through the Society of Fellows, Arts Creation Grants or other sponsored programs, its emphasis has always been on fostering creativity and innovation — qualities I take to be an essential part of education for citizenship.”
