Both a magazine and an annual report, “H” is a publication of the College of Humanities. A first edition was published in 2024 and a second in summer 2025.

Why “H”?

“H” is first and foremost about the Humanities, through the research carried out by CDH, the courses taught in the Social Sciences and Humanities (SHS) program developed with the University of Lausanne, and the courses we offer in Digital Humanities, including a Master’s degree, a Minor, and a Doctoral program.

“H” also refers to our mission of “expanding horizons,” which consists of developing critical thinking, ethical reflection, creativity, innovation, civic engagement, and communication skills.

For the first edition, “H” refers to two major cross-disciplinary transformations in the field of knowledge: Hyperscience and Hyperreality. The second edition, “H2”, focuses on the Age of Simulation.
