Interdisciplinary Humanistic Studies Information Session

Description

Join a Zoom information session and presentation about the doctoral (PhD) Program in Interdisciplinary Humanistic Studies (IHS). Learn what it's like to do interdisciplinary research bridging two disciplines with Ian Phillips, a Bloomberg Distinguished Professor of philosophy and psychological and brain sciences, and Rui Zhe Goh, a second-year PhD student in the IHS program whose project bridges psychology and philosophy. Goh will also talk about his experiences as a pioneer in this new program. There will be plenty of time for discussion and questions about the IHS program and the kind of research it aims to support.

If you cannot attend this information session but are interested in learning more about the program, please email Prof. William Egginton at egginton@jhu.edu.

About the IHS Program

This program offers students the opportunity to create an interdisciplinary doctoral program of their own design, within set guidelines. Students work with faculty advisors from two different PhD fields, one of which must be humanistic, to create a custom program that combines the methods, resources, and requirements of these two fields; on this basis, they develop and carry out their specific interdisciplinary course of study and research. The program is administered by the Alexander Grass Humanities Institute. Applications for Fall 2024 entry are due Feb. 15, 2024. Find more information on the PhD in IHS program online.
