Humanities Days
October 26 - 30, 2026
Welcome to Montgomery College's 13th annual Humanities Days celebration! This annual weeklong series of events is sponsored by the Global Humanities Institute and the Paul Peck Humanities Institute of Montgomery College.
Humanities in Action: Collaboration, Solidarity, and Hope
This year’s theme, Humanities in Action: Collaboration, Solidarity, and Hope, explores how the humanities serve as a catalyst across different spaces. By fostering collaboration among people with diverse perspectives, the humanities can bring about social change, promote solidarity in the face of injustice, and inspire hope for a more peaceful and just world for all.
We invite students, faculty, staff, and community members to share their research, teaching, service, creativity, or hands-on activities that contribute to the theme.
All members of the MC community are welcome to submit a proposal for a presentation,
panel, activity, etc. Submit by September 14, 2026
