About the Tanner Humanities Center
The Tanner Humanities Center supports academic research, public engagement, and educational programming in the humanities. The Center offers fellowships for researchers from the University of Utah and other institutions, lecture series for the campus and community, reading groups, and professional development programs for educators.
Founded in 1988, the Center was endowed in 1995 through a generous gift from the Obert C. and Grace A. Tanner Family Foundation. Obert C. Tanner was a renowned entrepreneur, philanthropist, and professor of philosophy at the University of Utah. Their support has been instrumental in shaping the Center into a leading institution for humanities research and public engagement.
With a focus on critical thinking and interdisciplinary inquiry, the Tanner Humanities Center enhances both academic and public understanding of the humanities.
You may also be interested in the Tanner Lectures on Human Values, which are hosted by the University of Utah and eight other institutions.
