Humanities Center
Mission Statement
The Humanities Center's mission is to foster the humanities at Everett Community College in a variety of ways, such as facilitating campus- and community-wide discussions of relevant themes from a humanities perspective, encouraging faculty collaboration on planning new courses for the Humanities Program, assisting faculty to voluntarily incorporate these selected themes into their courses, sponsoring a student humanities conference on campus, and encouraging service-learning opportunities with humanities and arts organizations.
The Humanities Center 2011-2012 Themes:
Islam in America: Common Ground (Fall 2011)
We'll explore additional facets of last year's theme.
Revolutions (Winter/Spring 2012)
- We'll start with a closer examination of revolts and revolutions across the Middle East.
- We'll include other current and historical political revolutions.
- We'll explore revolutionary social changes (for example, civil rights, gay marriage, sustainability).
- We'll move on to a wider exploration of revolutions in science and knowledge (Kuhn's "paradigm shift").
- We'll consider revolutions in art, music, literature, and other Humanities.
Planning for this year’s activities continues to move forward. Please continue to check our website and calendar as more events are posted.
