The Humanities at Duke

Duke’s commitment to the humanities in all its forms can be observed at every level of its curriculum, culture, and operations. The university’s many strengths in the humanities – art, history, religion, literature, critical theory, race and gender studies, to name a few, and new initiatives such as Visual Studies – demonstrate this commitment, as well as strong interests in both interdisciplinarity and the core disciplines.
