THE HUMANITIES @ DUKE

Duke’s commitment to the humanities in all its forms can be observed at every level of its curriculum, culture, and operations. The university’s many strengths in the humanities – art, history, religion, literature, critical theory, race and gender studies, to name a few, and new initiatives such as Visual Studies and Transcultural Humanities – demonstrate this commitment, as well as strong interests in both interdisciplinarity and the core disciplines.
