Established in 1996\, the Institute for the Study of Culture &\; Society (ICS) is a public humanities hub at Bowling Green State Un iversity. Our aim is to encourage innovation in the arts\, humanities\, an d social sciences\, and to communicate the value and significance of that work to the wider public.

\n

ICS delivers programs and initiatives th at empower BGSU faculty\, students\, staff and community members to levera ge the strengths of the humanities to serve the public good. \; We enc ourage you to explore our website to learn about the work ICS does and how you can become a part of our community! \; \;

\n

ICS seeks t o empower people and communities to leverage the strengths of the humaniti es to serve the public good.
At ICS\, we employ the humanities to ins pire and empower diverse publics to use their voices\, experiences\, and e xpertise to contribute to the public good. We define the humanities as the qualitative study of society and culture\, the written and oral narrative s that shape people&rsquo\;s lived experience and potential for change. We define the public good as increasing access\, equity\, and opportunity vi a social\, cultural\, and civic engagement.

\n

The vision of ICS is t o make the world more equitable\, just\, and inclusive. ICS strives to be a place where nuanced conversation and meaningful connections are made\, a nd where complexity and ambiguity are valued. ICS seeks to reduce barriers to access\, challenge disciplinary silos\, and overcome the constraints i mposed by the structures of higher education\, ensuring that the universit y serves to benefit\, empower\, and improve the lives of local people.&nbs p\; \;
