Interdisciplinary Center

Center for the Study of Gender and Sexuality

The Center for the Study of Gender and Sexuality was established in 1996 by Leora Auslander and a core group of faculty from across the University to consolidate work on gender and sexuality, as well as feminist, gay, lesbian, and queer studies. Along with fostering teaching, research, and discussion at the University, the center seeks to reach out into public areas where gender and sexuality come together with political, artistic, and intellectual concerns.

Center for Disciplinary Innovation

In the 2007–8 academic year the University of Chicago and the Franke Institute for the Humanities will open the Center for Disciplinary Innovation. This new center is a direct result of work begun during the Franke Institute's three–year Mellon Project, "New Perspectives on the Disciplines: Comparative Studies in Higher Education." The center will be a place for pedagogical collaboration and innovation, complementing the established disciplines and departments.

Place Lab

Founded in 1999 as a joint initiative of the Harris School of Public Policy Studies and the Division of the Humanities, the Cultural Policy Center is an interdisciplinary center and nationally recognized leader in the emerging field of cultural policy research and education. Its mission is to provide research and inform policy that affects the arts, humanities, and cultural heritage.
