Humanities and Arizona
The IHR is helping to shape the future of Arizona
The role of the Institute for Humanities Research in the New American University is to advance productive social dialogue and make a difference in the world by promoting humanities scholarship. At the IHR many of our projects focus on our home state of Arizona in an effort to understand our past and help create a brighter future.
