The expansive purpose of the Simpson Center is four-fold: to encourage and support cross-disciplinary research and inquiry among University of Washington faculty and graduate students; to support initiatives in the humanities at the leading edge of change; to pioneer innovative and cross-disciplinary courses at the graduate level; and to establish programs in the humanities that promote civic engagement and public scholarship.
