The Center for Global Humanities

Each year, UNE’s Center for Global Humanities (CGH) hosts a series of lectures and films. These events expose participants to scholars whose work is focused on exploring the human condition in the 21st century.

All students as well as members of our extended UNE community are invited to participate in these presentations. Occurring on both campuses of the University, attendees can choose to participate in person or join virtually through our live stream option. Information on the Center’s work and access to recorded lectures are available on the CGH website.
