The
Institute of Humanities at Kyung Hee University was established
in 1995 in response to the growing demand that studies
in humanities be provided with interdisciplinary, coordinated
and synthetic research programs cutting across departmental
boundaries. Several humanities research centers of the
university were thus integrated into the institute, and
with it, the five extant humanities departments of the
university were given a coordinationg body to overcome
isolation and compartmentalization. The institute has
five branches of research, each devoted to the five major
fields of humanities: language, literature, history, philosophy
and human geography. The institute has a three-fold objective:
to provide a range of resources and methods for working
with the five independent humanities departments of the
university; to develop educational methods and research
programs in the fields of humanities; and to explore ways
to bring the humanities both in the west and in Korea
into a more concrete, productive, and dialogic network.
