Congratulations, Incoming 2030 Wildcats!
Embark on your college career with a dynamic program of courses team-taught by award-winning faculty. Apply for the Kaplan Humanities Scholars Program — great preparation for any major that hones your skills in critical reading, writing, and analysis, and offers the chance to build your intellectual and social community from your very first days on campus.
May 12, 2026 - The Kaplan Humanities Institute is pleased to announce our cohort of 2026-2027 Faculty Fellows! These competitive residencies allow recipients either a full year of leave or a teaching reduction in order to develop their projects within our interdisciplinary community. We are also happy to introduce next year's Library Fellow and Library Affiliate! During their year-long residencies, the Library Fellow pursues their independent research project and the Library Affiliate serves as Library liaison at Kaplan.
Faculty Fellow Daniel Shanahan (Assoc. Professor of Music Theory and Cognition) shows how algorithmically mediated music recommendations have a dark backstory in his article for the Los Angeles Review of Books. The Kaplan community was lucky to hear a preview of this research at Dan's "Kaplan Conversation" in April!
Ease into the weekend feeling productive! Join us in the Kaplan Seminar Room (Kresge 2351) on Friday mornings (9am-12pm) to work quietly, but in community, on your own writing project. You make it a habit, and we’ll make the coffee! Last session is June 5!
