What is Anthropy?
Fostering early intellectual curiosity and meaningful engagement within the humanities
Since 2021, Anthropy has provided an outreach platform for students to foster intellectual curiosity and meaningful engagement within the humanities and social sciences. We allow students to explore their research interests with guidance and academic rigor, connect with experts, and share their insights with the world. Students absorb expertise through our speaker events such as Humanities Focus Week- past guest lecturers include ambassadors, authors, professors, and other changemakers across disciplines. Exemplary student work is published in our Academic Journal and featured in our Archives. Anthropy has branches in UWCs across Europe, China, India, and Singapore.
