Since the year 2000, the Penn Humanities Forum has sponsored a research forum for Penn doctoral students in the humanities and social sciences. This Graduate Humanities Forum (GHF) offers doctoral students the opportunity to interact with peers interested in interdisciplinary dialogue. The group, which meets weekly over lunch, hosts faculty and students in a series of research seminars and special colloquia.

Each year, GHF members organize and lead a scholarly conference, whose theme coincides with the annual topic of the Penn Humanities Forum. Conference Call for Papers are announced in late Fall of each academic year and are open to doctoral humanists at Penn and, beginning in 2004, several regional universities.

Among GHF's other academic interests are outreach within the Penn community and mentoring of PHF Undergraduate Humanities Forum Fellows.

If you are interested in joining the GHF, please contact Kristina Baumli, 2004-05 PHF graduate assistant.

We gratefully acknowledge the contributions of Eugene Narmour, Edmund J. Kahn Distinguished Professor of Music, who established the Graduate Humanities Forum while serving as acting director of the Penn Humanities Forum from 2000–2002.
