ICS

Institute for the Study of Culture and Society

 

Welcome to ICS! We are an interdisciplinary research institute that promotes production and dissemination of original work in traditional disciplines within the humanities, arts, and social sciences; in established interdisciplines; and in newly emerging fields of inquiry. We hope you will join us at one of our lectures, conferences, or seminars that take place throughout the academic year.
