Our Story

Founded in 1999, The Humanities Center in the College of Humanities and Fine Arts at CSU, Chico creates and nurtures an interdisciplinary culture of ideas. Each year a theme is selected, and prominent scholars and artists are invited to give presentations on campus. The Center has been successful in bringing eight Presidential Scholars to campus, philosophers Richard Rorty and Martha Nussbaum, historians Anthony Grafton, Edward J. Larson, and James McPherson, novelist Richard Powers, architect and writer Witold Rybczynski, and aesthetician Elaine Scarry. In addition to talks by outside speakers, the Center regularly hosts informal talks, debates and panel discussions. Since its creation, the Humanities Center, unique in the CSU system, has become an important and indispensable part of the intellectual life of CSU, Chico.
