Awards and Honors
| The COVID-19 epidemic has reminded the world why the Humanities are so powerful, relevant and necessary. Works of history, literature, philosophy and religious studies are perfectly suited for capturing the contradictory social processes and emotions within which we find ourselves. So, at this moment when the power and the magic of our disciplines are on display, it is imperative that we honor all of our award winners this year and recognize our students who were excelling in this before it became frighteningly relevant during the pandemic. We could not be any prouder of our students and their accomplishments. |
