Tanner Humanities Center

Our events and programs bring together campus and community members in conversation about important contemporary public concerns and scholarship. We feature artists, writers, scholars, and public figures in a broad range of talks, colloquia, and discussions. We offer a platform to discuss the most innovative research by University of Utah faculty and students.

Our speakers are chosen by the Tanner Humanities Center staff in consultation with the Tanner Faculty Board and other members of our communities both on and off campus. In addition to our own programming, we regularly partner with Departments, Centers, and local organizations to support Humanities-oriented events of interest to all of our communities in the greater Salt Lake City area and throughout Utah. Please get in touch with Scott Black (scott.black@utah.edu) or Beth James (beth.james@utah.edu) with any recommendations.
