Boston University’s Center for the Humanities (BUCH) is poised to further its original goals, build on the four decades of accomplishment and prestige that BUCH has supported and brought to the University, and secure the continued rise of BU as a global leader in innovative humanities-based scholarship, leadership, community engagement and creative work.

We support the work of humanities scholars and students through fellowships, awards, and event funding. Our three new initiatives –The Humanities Leadership Initiative, Humanizing the Digital, and Humanities in the World– promote dialogue between humanities disciplines and public constituencies. These initiatives were developed in 2022/2023 as part of the BUCH Expanded Charter.
