Cogut Institute for the Humanities

Undergraduate Collaborative Humanities

Graduate Collaborative Humanities

Fall 2025

“ The course [...] felt like a place of encounter for different humanities scholars and perfectly embodied the spirit of the collaborative humanities certificate. Students from various departments were present, shared their perspectives, and [...] collaborated on a final assignment. ”

Student evaluation for “Grounds of Comparison”

I was challenged and grew tremendously as a scholar. The insights and perspectives from people from different disciplines was invaluable.

Student evaluation for the “Project Development Workshop”

Digital Humanities

Fall 2025

This course [...] is great for humanists interested in data [and ...] data scientists interested in the social realities of data practices.

Student evaluation for “Decolonizing Data”

Spring 2026

“Intro to Digital Humanities” introduced me not only to much of the emergent literature of DH but also to many of the tools digital humanists are [using]. The course has a strong balance of theoretical and
practical applications.

Student feedback for “Introduction to Digial Humanities”

Environmental Humanities

Fall 2025

Spring 2026

“ Genuinely changed my life. I have a new perspective on the most ideal way for me to learn (in community), in addition to having learned content that exactly strikes on [my] core interests [...]. To have a class as interdisciplinary, vulnerable, but still critical as this one was a gift for me. ”

Student feedback for “The Black Outdoors”

Fellows Seminar

I absolutely loved being part of the Cogut seminar during this academic year. I loved engaging with others’ work each week and [...] I strongly feel that I wrote a tangibly better thesis because of the feedback I received from other fellows.

Courses by Affiliates (Fall 2025)

“ This and the other Cogut Institute class that I took [...] have easily been my favorite courses that I’ve taken at Brown. I am so appreciative of how Cogut courses approach interdisciplinary learning: it’s exactly why I chose to come to Brown. ”
