A book, a door, a shield?
At the RPW Center, we believe in the importance of multiple viewpoints and interpretations. We also believe that humanistic study, conversation, and engagement lead to the kind of unconventional thinking and unexpected discoveries our world desperately needs.
RPW Center supports interdisciplinary scholarship and research in all its forms. All those interested in humanities-based inquiry and action are welcome: faculty of all ranks, graduate students, undergraduate students, staff, and members of the Nashville community (and beyond). Through our shared activities and goodwill, we work to advocate for and protect the importance of the humanities in a thoughtful and democratic society.
