Institute for Advanced Studies In Culture at the University of Virginia: Home

The Institute for Advanced Studies in Culture is an interdisciplinary research center and intellectual community at the University of Virginia committed to understanding contemporary cultural change and its wide-ranging individual and social consequences.

The Hedgehog Review and the Institute for the Humanities and Global Cultures will be co-sponsoring a discussion of IASC Faculty Fellow Chad Wellmon's essay, “Why Google Isn't Making Us Stupid...or Smart," at 2:00 on Friday, February 17, in the Solarium room of the Colonnade Club as part of the "Theory Desserts" series. All are welcome.

Director Joshua J. Yates has an article in the January issue of The Montreal Review on his book, Thrift and Thriving in America.

“The Roots of the Arab Spring”

The toppling of a political order through war or revolution is often little more than a circulation of elites. There are important reasons to see in the ongoing Arab Spring the flowering of something truly new. Read essays on this and other topics, as well as reviews of recent books, in the new issue of The Hedgehog Review. See the full table of contents >>

Listen to an interview with Matthew Mutter, former fellow at the Institute. Matt is now Assistant Professor at Bard College. Other interviews with fellows can be heard from the Media Library.
