About
The Mahindra Humanities Center at Harvard brings insights from deep, patient, and immersive work in the humanities to bear on the most urgent questions of our time.
Director’s Letter
For those of you returning to the Center, all of the Mahindra staff and I look forward to seeing you again. For faculty, postdocs, students, and staff arriving at Harvard for the first time, we are eager to meet new enthusiasts of the humanities. And to scholars and friends of the humanities in the Greater Boston area, we warmly invite you to join us in the Mahindra Center’s activities.

Our History
The Mahindra Humanities Center began in 1984 as the Center for Literary Studies. It became the Humanities Center in 1996 and was renamed in 2011 following a generous gift from Anand Mahindra, Harvard College ’77, in honor of his mother Indira. Anand Mahindra was a concentrator in Visual and Environmental Studies—now Art, Film, and Visual Studies—at Harvard.
