Great Works Seminars

Along with its roles as a residential research center for interdisciplinary scholarship in the humanities, the Fox Center for Humanistic Inquiry develops and coordinates humanities programming across the Emory campus. A major component of this effort is the Great Works Seminars, funded by a Challenge Grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities. In these seminars, reading groups study classic works in various humanistic areas.

Designed for members of the public, these groups, generally meet once a month during the academic semester in the Seminar Room of the Fox Center. Programs for these groups are a combination of individual presentations, group discussions, occasional outside speakers, and other academic formats the moderator and participants may find useful in furthering their intellectual mission.

If you would like to participate in one of the Seminars, or would like to propose a new Seminar, please contact the Fox Center at 404.727.6424 or email: .
