Every Two Years, The VHC Will Select a Theme to Organize Our Humanities Events Around

THEME 2015-2017: DESIGN FOR THE HUMAN SPIRIT

All human activities start with design, even if just designing which direction to look. As the VHC established itself, questions about the relationship between design and the humanities became paramount ...and a perfect focus for our first biennial theme.
