The Environmental Storytelling Series of CNY brings together faculty, students and local community partners to address the climate crisis through creative outlets.
Through creative outlets like storytelling, interpretation and art, the humanities can demonstrate how environmental concerns are intertwined with social, economic and cultural issues. This year’s series, “Environmental Storytelling and the Collective Work of Repair” is part of the Syracuse University Humanities Center’s 2022-23 Syracuse Symposium on Repair. Programming throughout the year has featured photography, poetry, readings, talks and film screenings by different environmental storytellers.
Reception features nearly 50 books by SU authors spotlighting a range of cutting-edge research from across campus.
All are invited to explore a diverse range of books authored and/or edited by Syracuse University scholars in copyright year 2022 at this year's Books in the Humanities (BITH) reception, now in its eighth year.

Anthony Green wonders “if repair can even happen. I don’t dwell on that,” he added, “but instead I’m consciously choosing to write more pieces about Black joy and Black survival.”

Romita Ray, associate professor in the Department of Art and Music Histories at Syracuse University, says one of the ways people can engage in important conversations about pressing issues is through the power of art.
Projects examine race and language, the genealogy of slavery, women’s marital rights in Arab nations and the impact of 1990s alternative rock.

Humanities Center fellowships and project grants support students' research on Druze culture, histories of self-harm, youth literacy and Black narratives from Syracuse schools’ desegregation era.
The humanities are pivotal to examining historical trajectories, understanding the pressing issues of our times and forging a more just world. As the next generation of scholars, graduate students are at the forefront of identifying and pursuing new questions in their research.
19th annual Syracuse Symposium continues this spring semester with events centered around theme of “repair.”
Reparations for slavery. Environmental justice. Reproductive justice. Students, faculty, staff and the general public are invited to engage with these urgent topics and more throughout the spring semester thanks to the Syracuse University Humanities Center's Syracuse Symposium.
