Humanities Now
Humanities Now is the official podcast of the Humanities Center at Texas Tech. We feature conversations with members of the humanities community at Texas Tech University. With every episode, these varied voices help us realize the Center’s mission: asking out loud, “What does it mean to be human?” and demonstrating how can we answer that question from so many different perspectives.

Meet our Working Groups
To wrap up our first half-season before we take a pause for winter break, we discuss the Humanities Center's focus on interdisciplinary collaboration by introducing two of our funded working groups. Belinda Kleinhans tell us the history of the Animal in the Humanities working group, which the center funded from 2017 to 2019. Then we hear from our latest working group, the Medieval and Renaissance Studies Center. Five of their members, Angela Mariani, Janis Elliott, Julie Nelson Couch, Jacob Baum, and Lane Sobehrad, talk about the intellectual ideas that ground their collaborative work, and preview some of the plans they have for the future.
