Interdisciplinary Center
University of Chicago Language Center
In response to a 2004 faculty committee report on language teaching and learning, the College and the Division of the Humanities took the initiative to create a University-wide center for the study of languages. The new language center will consolidate and significantly enhance the support for language learning across an array of academic disciplines, especially in the language, linguistics, literature, and civilization programs of the Division of Humanities and the growing number of Title VI area studies centers.
University of Chicago Center in Paris
Historically the University of Chicago has had strong ties to European thought and culture. With the advent of the European Union and the reconsideration in the twenty-first century of what defines "Europe," it is an auspicious time to open the Chicago Center in Paris. The facility provides for undergraduate teaching in the core and languages, advanced research, conferences and colloquia, and alumni gatherings.
Nicholson Center for British Studies
The Nicholson Center for British Studies opened in 2003 with a generous bequest from the estate of Robert Nicholson. The center hosts and sponsors lectures and conferences in addition to providing funding to graduate students for research in the United Kingdom.
