The Humanities as the Common Wealth of Kentucky: CCHS establishes the first consortium of humanities centers and departments across Kentucky’s public universities

Mary P. Sheridan, Director of CCHS, Pamela Beattie and Simona Bertacco from the Department of Comparative Humanities have been awarded a Membership Activity Fund Grant by the Consortium of Humanities Centers and Institutes (https://chcinetwork.org/about) in support of their proposal to establish a consortium of humanities centers and departments across Kentucky’s public universities. 

The consortium, called The Humanities as the Common Wealth of Kentucky (HCWK), is the first attempt to coordinate efforts across Kentucky’s state universities, and U of L’s CCHS is one of six recipients around the world with Amherst College, the National University of Australia, and the University of Western Cape in South Africa among the others.
