Welcome to The Halifax Humanities Society! We are a non-profit organization that offers university-level, non-credit Humanities classes to adults living on low incomes, absolutely free of charge. Learn about philosophy, literature, and art in a safe, supportive environment.
Halifax Humanities 101
Join our free course modelled after the curriculum of the Foundation Year Program at the University of King’s College! The class is a “Great Books” program where students will read works of Western literature, philosophy, political theory, and theology, and look at works of art. The course moves chronologically, beginning in Ancient Mesopotamia and ending in the present day. Along the way, we think about big themes like beauty, justice, community, and power.
