Open your mind, transform our world
The Faculty of Humanities asks complex questions about what it means to be human, what our relationships with each other and our environments require of us, what what responsibilities we hold to the world and its future. We study products of human thought and creativity: languages, literatures, media, material cultures, histories and beliefs across peoples, places and times.
We uphold justice and diversity. We promote global knowledges and cultivate intercultural acumen. We confront how humanity engages with natural and constructed environments, both real and imagined.
