The Humanities Institute

The Graduate Program in Comparative Literature works in close collaboration with Stony Brook's Humanities Institute (HISB), an internationally known center for interdisciplinary humanities and social science research. HISB sponsors Visiting Fellows, who offer public lectures as well as seminars that allow students to engage the fellows in a more sustained way. Recent visiting fellows include Dipesh Chakrabarty, Paul Gilroy, Judith Halberstam, Michael Hardt, and N. Katherine Hayles. In addition, HISB designs both graduate and faculty courses and cosponsors events with local community organizations. The Frank Melville, Jr. Memorial Library is a center for research and study and holds more than 2 million volumes and 3 million publications in microformat.
