Fox Center For Humanistic Inquiry

The Fox Center for Humanistic Inquiry (FCHI) is Emory University's hub for the Humanities, advancing research, writing, and creative works among faculty research fellows, postdoctoral fellows, PhD completion fellows and undergraduate honors research fellows. The Center convenes scholars across a wide range of disciplines, methods, and modes of creative practice, fostering individual and collaborative research as well as public engagement. We are dedicated to rigorous humanistic inquiry and an engaged intellectual community which reaches beyond the walls of the Center. Our Mellon-funded publishing initiative amplifies humanistic research through support for the open access publication of new monographs and events that bring authors into meaningful conversations with their audiences. Each year the Center anchors its programming and recruitment of Fellows around a central theme. For academic year 2024-25, our theme will be Democracy: Past, Present, Future.
