Illuminating the past, engaging the present, and imagining new ways to produce knowledge that promotes the public good...the Society of Fellows and Heyman Center for the Humanities is Columbia University's central site for the Humanities.
The SOF/Heyman provides the intellectual and physical space for interdisciplinary discussions among members of the Columbia community and the New York City public. It brings together faculty and students from across the universityâfrom the humanities, social and natural sciences, law, medicine, journalism, and the artsâto share thinking, debate ideas, and collectively consider methodological, conceptual, and ethical issues of common interest and concern. It sponsors public programmingâlectures, poetry and fiction reading, workshops, conferences, symposia, seminars, and performancesâfosters scholarly and artistic collaborations, and offers meeting spaces for its various affiliated members.
