Understanding People, Culture, and Change
The humanities at Georgia Tech help us understand how people make meaning, tell stories, make decisions, and shape communities. Through the study of history, language, philosophy, media, and creative practice, humanities scholars in Ivan Allen College explore the ideas, values, and cultural forces that influence our lives — and how those forces interact with science, innovation, and society.
By asking critical questions about ethics, identity, creativity, and responsibility, the humanities play a vital role in Georgia Tech’s mission to improve the human condition.
Humanities work at Georgia Tech is deeply connected to the world around us. Humanities scholarship at Georgia Tech spans a wide range of disciplines and approaches, including:
Literature, language, and cultural studies that explore how meaning is created and shared
History and philosophy that place ideas, events, and innovations in social context
Media, communication, and performance studies that examine storytelling, expression, and audience
Digital humanities and creative practices that combine critical inquiry with new tools and formats
Ethics-focused scholarship that addresses questions of responsibility, values, and impact
