The University at Buffalo Humanities Institute (HI), founded in 2005, exists to support three fundamental functions: cultivating interdisciplinarity, fostering research, and promoting public engagement with the humanities. Through our programs and opportunities, HI develops pathways for humanities-based examinations of our world and our times. Among these pathways is a commitment to our community to create open forums for collaboration and conversation.
