'Global Humanities Initiative'

The Global Humanities Initiative is embedded in the School of Arts and Humanities at the University of Cambridge. The School is consistently ranked in the top five in the world QS rankings and contains eight academic faculties and departments, Europe’s largest interdisciplinary centre (CRASSH), the Leverhulme Centre for the Future of Intelligence (AI), the University Language Centre, and a flourishing digital humanities programme (CDH). Global Humanities is one of three priority themes set out by the School in its 2020-2030 Vision. Through it, Cambridge is seeking to build on, foster and further develop the study of non-European culture at undergraduate and postgraduate level, to diversity its curriculum and, in so doing, critique and value the heritage of Britain and Europe; to begin the work of diversifying its teaching body by inviting visiting lecturers from disparate parts of the world to contribute fully to its courses and programmes; and, through conferences and research projects, to pose and answer major questions through multiple cultural perspectives.
