What is DePaul's Experiential Humanities Collaborative?

The HumanitiesX Collaborative supports substantive collaboration between faculty, community partners, and students that is focused on bringing humanities methods to bear on today's most pressing social challenges.

We offer year-long fellowships to teams comprised of faculty, community partners, and students. Each team works to design and deploy a new course that blends humanities inquiry with project-based learning, engaging students in and with Chicago communities.

​Overview of HumanitiesX

​​HumanitiesX is generously funded by the Mellon Foundation. In the fall of 2021, we officially launched the Collaborative with our first cohort, guided by our inaugural theme, Immigration and Migration. In subsequent years, we welcomed cohorts focused on The Environment: Crisis and Action and Democracy and Rights. Starting in 2024-25, HumanitiesX fellows may design courses focused on any of our three core themes.
