Queer Humanists
Fostering the next generation of LGBTQ+ scholars and practitioners of humanities
A humanities program that centers LGBTQ+ History, Queer Art, Queer Theory and Queer Philosophy.
Launching Fall 2025
In the fall of 2025, we will launch the inaugural cohort of the Queer Humanists. This 10-month program will offer a range of classes centered on queer history, queer theory, and queer philosophy. Participants will engage in virtual courses across diverse humanities disciplines, including history, visual arts, writing, philosophy, and more.
Designed by world class faculty from Harvard University, Yale, Northeastern, NYU, Wellesley College, and University of Massachusetts; the Queer Humanists program will engage LGBTQ+ artists, aspiring historians, and writers,
The goal of the program is to cultivate a vibrant community dedicated to exploring, developing, and advancing scholarship that centers queerness and enriches queer humanities.
“People who treat other people as less than human must not be surprised when the bread they have cast on the waters comes floating back to them, poisoned.”
