Humanity: Everyone’s a Member
At the Gregory J. Grappone Humanities Institute, we are developing innovative ways to integrate humanistic thought and understanding into people’s lives. We know that humanity is one title we can all share in common and we believe that we are all called to be engaged students seeking to understand the world and our place in it.

At their essence, the Humanities cultivate human wisdom by engaging us in the ageless conversation about the meaning of our lives.

Discover humanitas, an interdisciplinary humanities journal of expressive student work and scholarship, sponsored by the Gregory J. Grappone Humanities Institute.
humanitas aims to feature the best student writing and artwork across disciplines in the humanities, including but not limited to academic analysis, narrative features, translations, exegetical reflective work, poetry, fiction, and illustration. The journal seeks to cultivate and showcase the distinction of Saint Anselm College through excellent student work.
Upcoming Events

The ancient past can sometimes seem so distant, but it is the responsibility of those who study the past to not only share results of their investigations, but also to do so in a timely and accessible manner. While some archaeological findings are hoarded until final publication due to proprietary concerns (or, sadly, sometimes never published at all), the Poggio Civitate Archaeological Project takes another radical approach: making all raw excavation data publicly and freely available shortly after it has been brought to light.
The Poggio Civitate Archaeological Project does this in partnership with Open Context, a digital publisher and archive of archaeological data. In this talk Prof. Ann Glennie (Classics Department, College of the Holy Cross) will introduce the site of Poggio Civitate, discuss the rationale behind the Project’s use of Open Context, and show how making data available through Open Context can promote accessibility, and thereby, more nuanced and diverse interpretations of the data.
