About Taft
The Charles Phelps Taft Research Center is an intellectually vibrant and nourishing hub for interdisciplinary conversations and collaborations that demonstrate the importance of the humanities, in their broadest sense.
Celebrating more than twenty years as a center and nearly one hundred years as an endowed fund, we offer a range of university and public programs that bring people together, inspire and advance new ideas, and explore enduring questions. We support the research and educational missions of our 15 member units, providing fellowships, awards, and enhancements for their faculty and students to pursue original research and creative projects. We are a member of the Consortium of Humanities Centers and Institutes and collaborate with partners across campus, the community, and beyond.
