History & Humanities Society
The History and Humanities Society serves to build community amongst the students
and faculty of the History and Humanities Department. The HHS achieves this through
curating events, discussion on historical matters, post-graduate opportunities, and
connections with the broader University community.
About Us
The HHS is a student-led Society for John Cabot students interested in History and the Humanities. We aim to build a community for JCU students to engage with their peers both socially and academically. We host bi-weekly meetings to cultivate connections among students, and to discuss an extensive array of historical topics. Our society encourages the discussion and understanding of history, the classics, philosophy, and the humanities.
To promote community and conversation, we:
● Promote academic and social connections within the History and Humanities Department.
● Inform members on postgraduate opportunities in the field of history, including advanced education and immediate career prospects.
● Host events and lectures featuring external guests and other University Clubs and Societies.
● Organize social events including trivia nights, balls, debates, educational trips, on-sight visits, and more.
We host a diverse mixture of events to create an accessible, friendly community which boosts relations between those interested in the humanities. Here at the HHS, we aim to establish long lasting bonds between students, peers, and educators. Whether you are interested in connecting with like-minded students and faculty in the History and Humanities departments, or are interested in enhancing and deepening your knowledge about history and the humanities, we invite you to join us!
