About

The Wolf Humanities Center is Pennsylvania’s main hub for interdisciplinary humanities research and public programming. The center was established in 2017, and its goals are to demonstrate how vital the humanities are to the life of the mind and the health of society, and how fundamentally connected they are with many areas of urgent inquiry in medicine, law, business, and the sciences. Through Center’s fellowship programs, it gathers dozens of researchers at every level from undergraduate students to senior faculty to explore different topics in-depth and from diverse perspectives. The center is a part of the School of Arts and Sciences at the University of Pennsylvania.
