H&S News and Events
The pace never slows at Stanford’s School of Humanities and Sciences. Every day, students and faculty unveil meaningful discoveries and produce original scholarship. They create and investigate, collaborate and communicate, at all hours and in every corner of campus.
That intellectual energy extends far beyond department walls. Through lectures, conferences, performances and exhibitions, H&S scholars reflect and engage with the Stanford community and experts from around the world.
