Science in Human Culture Program (SHC)

Science in Human Culture (SHC) is a unique interdisciplinary program within Northwestern University that seeks to make sense of crucial changes over time in science, technology, medicine, and the environment. SHC provides students and faculty alike an opportunity to bridge the worlds of scientific expertise and culture and develop the critical tools needed to understand the effects of these systems around the world.

With a robust student community, rotating postdoctoral fellows, award-winning faculty affiliates, and a popular speaker series and conference program, Science in Human Culture has earned a well-deserved reputation both within Northwestern and beyond for fostering meaningful conversations at the intersection of the humanities and sciences.
