ABOUT THE HUMANITAS PROGRAMME

Humanitas is a series of Visiting Professorships at Oxford and Cambridge intended to bring leading practitioners and scholars to both universities to address major themes in the arts, social sciences and humanities. Created by Lord Weidenfeld, the Programme is managed and funded by the Institute for Strategic Dialogue with the support of a series of generous benefactors and administered by the Humanities Division in Oxford and the Centre for Research in the Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities (CRASSH) in Cambridge.

Humanitas will welcome some twenty Visiting Professors, who will be appointed for a given academic year and invited to deliver a series of lectures, followed by a related symposium, workshop or masterclass for graduate students.

"This enterprise means to me the summation of years of endeavours to bring distinguished scholars and eminent practitioners from all over the world, to share ideas and knowledge with students and the general public, at two of Europe’s greatest Universities." – Lord Weidenfeld

"We are excited by this initiative which will enable us to bring world leading figures to Oxford in a range of interdisciplinary fields. Visiting Professors in our first year included the acclaimed playwright Athol Fugard, the photographer Thomas Struth, and the Director of MOMA, Glenn Lowry. Students, staff and members of the public will be invited to lectures, masterclasses and a final symposium featuring other leading figures in the relevant field" - Professor Sally Shuttleworth, former Head of the Humanities Division, University of Oxford

The Programme will include the following fields:
