Center for the Humanities is under the School of Humanities and Social Sciences. We are devoted to cutting edge interdisciplinary research and education in various fields in humanities, exploring the juncture and collaboration of humanities and modern technology, and promoting creative and critical thinking and communication in the SUSTech community.
“High quality, frontier topics oriented, unique, and cross disciplines integration” is our goal in research. We aim to establish humanities fields that can fully take advantage of the research in science and technology in SUSTech and at the same time to provide strong support and guidance to studies in science and technology.
Our teaching aims to empower our students with a range of critical skills needed for a leader in any endeavor. Students’ engagement with literature, history, languages and art motivates them to find new juncture of art and science, to create and innovate across academic disciplines, to develop into a good communicator with cultural perspectives and a deep understanding in the complexities of human society.
Center for the Humanities is now home to six academic divisions:
- Classics (China and West) and Modern Interpretation
- Language and Linguistic Studies
- Methodology and Creative Thinking
- Media and Cross-disciplinary Studies
- Writing and Communications
- Science History and Science Education
We are looking forward to establishing more research and teaching divisions in the future.
