Welcome to the Network!
Thank you for your interest in staying connected. The Global Urban Humanities Network (UHN) is a consortium of campuses, organizations and professionals (scholars, practitioners & community leaders) collectively building the emerging field of urban humanities. Urban humanists share practices of research, design and public engagement at the intersection of architecture, urban studies, and the humanities. Over the last decade, this trans-disciplinary work has been institutionalized as a field through the support of the Mellon Foundation (AUH grant), creating pedagogical programs, research centers, and community engaged scholarship across the globe. The UHN builds from this foundation to take the pulse and chart a path for the next generation of urban humanities scholars and practitioners. Its first efforts in this regard was the successful convening of the Inaugural Urban Humanities Global (Un)Conference held at Tucson, AZ in 2023. Building on the success of the event. (Un)Conference 2 will be held at Wash U in St. Louis, Missouri in 2025. Visit urbhum.net for more information.
