Announcing the 2024-25 Calgary Institute for the Humanities Fellows

Established in 1976, the Calgary Institute for the Humanities (CIH) fosters advanced study and research in a broad range of subject areas. We are multi-disciplinary and multi-faculty orientated. We support research in traditional Humanities disciplines such as languages and literature, history, religious studies, philosophy, as well as in philosophical and historical aspects of the social sciences, arts, sciences, and professional studies. The humanities are not conceived as a specific group of academic disciplines, but as forms of study that examine what is human – typically guided by literature, history, social and physical settings, artifacts, visual and performing arts. 

For the 2024-25 academic year, four annual Resident Fellowships were awarded to outstanding scholars in order to pursue a particular research project and two graduate student fellowships were awarded to students to support the final phase of their PhD dissertations. All fellows maintain a regular presence at the Institute, share their research in an in-house lecture, and involve themselves in the community of scholars working at the Institute. Resident Fellows also present their research as part of the Calgary Institute for the Humanities Annual Lecture Series.
