Humanities Cultural Programme
Between 2019-2023, TORCH set-up and led the Humanities Cultural Programme (HCP).
At its heart, HCP was created in collaboration with researchers and cultural partners, including performers, artists, film-makers and musicians.
This page represents the archive of the events, projects and Fellowships from the HCP 2019-2023.
The new Cultural Programme is now a separate team in the Humanities Division at the University of Oxford, and you can sign up to their newsletter here.
Over the coming months, the Cultural Programme are putting on a series of pop-up, live and online events as they gear up for 2025’s opening of Oxford University’s new Stephen A. Schwarzman Centre for the Humanities.
