Institute History
The Center for the Humanities was founded in Spring 1992 to foster the development of a broad, innovative humanities culture at NU. It started out in a modest office in Harris Hall and moved to its present base in a renovated house at 2010 Sheridan Rd. in 1995, when it was named after deceased NU alumna and life-long student in the humanities, Alice Berline Kaplan. The Center became the Alice Kaplan Institute for the Humanities in Fall 2006.
Much of the Center/Institute's programming was, in previous years, determined by yearly or quarterly themes. A list of these, and of the faculty members who led associated programming, may be found on the themes page.
The Institute's current home at 2010 Sheridan Road.
The Insititute will move to Kresge Hall in 2009.
