Each year, the Center hosts and co-sponsors humanities-related events that enrich intellectual life at OSU and make humanities research accessible to a wider audience.
Intended to supplement other resources, a modest amount of funding is available to support events on campus and in the community. We fund programs that that provide interdisciplinary focus to issues of concern, develop and promote research excellence, and that offer unique opportunities to engage with work in the humanities.

This multi-year initiative co-sponsored with the School of History, Philosophy, and Religion explores challenging questions related to what it means to belong in a time of struggle: What is a citizen? How has citizenship changed over time? In what ways have “crises”—such as war or economic downturn—impacted understandings as well as practices of citizenship?
Made by History is a venue to learn about the historical contexts of contemporary issues. Hosted by the Washington Post, edited by professional historians, and sponsored by the OSU Center for the Humanities and six additional institutional partners, it provides OSU scholars the opportunity to share their research and perspectives on topics and events of import.
