Our Purpose
Founded in 1986, the Higgins School of Humanities works to enhance the intellectual and cultural life of Clark University by fostering connection between the humanities disciplines (English, Foreign Languages, Visual and Performing Arts, Philosophy, and History), by supporting humanities faculty research, and by offering public events to the community.
The Higgins School of Humanities affirms the centrality of the arts and humanities to our lives, and the values of a liberal arts education. It supports teaching and research through its grant programs, and sponsors public events and campus initiatives, enhancing the intellectual and cultural life of the Clark community.

Initiatives: Difficult Dialogues
The Difficult Dialogues program at Clark is a campus-wide initiative aimed at developing skills and awareness of dialogue—encouraging engagement across differences in both our classrooms and community.
Clark was one of 27 institutions selected by the Ford Foundation from 730 colleges and universities nation-wide to participate in this initiative—of which the Higgins school was an original co-sponsor, along with the department of International Development, Community and Environment (IDCE).
