The Institute for the Humanities is a center for innovative, collaborative study in the humanities and arts. Each year it provides fellowships for Michigan faculty, graduate students, and visiting scholars who work on interdisciplinary projects. The Institute organizes public, scholarly events, including weekly brown bag talks, lectures, conferences, art exhibits, and performances, bringing together those who create with those who analyze art forms.

The International Institute, founded in 1993 to advance the University of Michigan's leadership in research, education, and service in international and area studies, provides resources to to enable the University community of faculty, students, and staff to understand and engage a diverse and increasingly interconnected world.

Centers

Center for European Studies
http://www.umich.edu/~iinet/ces/
Since 1996, the Center for European Studies has brought together University of Michigan faculty and students, and Michigan residents interested in European matters. Funded by the International Institute, the Center organizes conferences, workshops and lectures on campus, in addition to exchange programs with European universities. In collaboration with other universities and European centers in the United States, the Center also brings European scholars, artists and professionals to Ann Arbor. CES enjoys the support of over one hundred fifty faculty from twenty departments and schools, ranging from Architecture and Classics to Law School and the History of Art. Its activities illustrate the ongoing importance of European life, culture and scholarship to American culture and public life. The Center focuses on Western Europe. However, dramatic changes on its eastern borders and globalization invite us to look beyond the traditional borders of "Western Europe" to central and eastern European countries, and to the countries along the southern shores of the Mediterranean.

With an oustanding faculty of over 60 area specialists and visiting scholars in the humanities, social sciences, and professions, CREES is one of the nation's leading institutes for interdisciplinary research and training in Russian and East European studies.  It is renowned for its programs in Central European, Russian, and Southeast European studies. It is one of just 19 U.S. Department of Education-supported National Resource Centers for the vast area of Eastern Europe, Russia, and Central Asia.

The Kelsey Museum of Archeology, named after archeologist Francis W. Kelsey, has two permanent exhibit galleries-one for Greek and Roman material, the other for Near Eastern-and an area for temporary exhibitions. The Kelsey has a long tradition of exhibiting both its own collections and traveling shows. The Kelsey is planning an exhibit entitled "Cavafy's World" in February 2002, part of campus-wide celebrations for the establishment of the C. P. Cavafy Modern Greek Chair, featuring archival material on loan from Greece and objects from the Kelsey collection.
