The IHC's programs in Public Humanities advance civic engagement through scholarly and creative work in the humanities and arts.
The IHC’s mission is to advance knowledge about human experience in cultural, historical, and social context and to do so through humanities programs that foster human agency, social connectedness, and civic empowerment. Since its founding in 1987 the Interdisciplinary Humanities Center at UC Santa Barbara has supported interdisciplinary scholarship in the humanities, the performing and visual art
