History
Looking for a way to support the humanities and to foster connections between faculty, students and the community, Drs. Jennifer Feather and Lisa Levenstein created the Humanities Network and Consortium in 2015. Since its inception, HNAC has brought together scholars from a wide variety of disciplines to promote faculty research and to engage the broader public. At its core, HNAC supports collaborations that amplify and offer connections throughout all the humanities.
