UCI HUMANITIES CENTER LEADERSHIP
“I am drawn to projects that explore how marginalized individuals and communities navigate structures and cultures of inequality in U.S. society.” – Judy Tzu-Chun Wu, academic director, UCI Humanities Center
“The Humanities Center provides resources, such as grantwriting training, project planning support and seed funding, that allow humanities faculty and graduate students to take on bigger challenges, experiment with new formats and reach new audiences.” – Amanda Jeanne Swain, executive director, UCI Humanities Center
“A named academic endowment is an indication of profound engagement and confidence in the mission and activities of the Center and its director. In turn, it offers our supporter named recognition for the internationally celebrated School of Humanities.” – Tyrus Miller, dean, UCI School of Humanities
