The Furman Humanities Center (FHC) was established at Furman in 2020 to unify resources and programs with these fundamental goals in mind: raise the profile of the humanities at Furman; support the work of students, staff, and faculty. We are committed to fighting racism and injustice. Therefore, our mission is to expand the understanding of the humanities by fostering inclusive communities and amplifying the voices of those who have been and continue to be marginalized. The FHC will prioritize programming that considers how the humanities at Furman have historically contributed to structural oppression. This includes, but is not limited to, studying the university’s ties to slavery, recognizing that the university exists on traditional lands of the Cherokee People, and exploring structures of injustice and inequity common to academia at Furman and beyond.
