AUB’s Centre for Arts and Humanities (CAH) seeks to increase understanding and appreciation
for the Arts and Humanities both inside and outside the university. Hosting a diverse array of
cultural events, including lectures, exhibitions, plays, films, and performances, CAH provides
a forum for research and debate in the Arts and Humanities. These events are intended
to enrich cultural engagement and dialogue not only for faculty and students on campus
but also for the wider intellectual community in Beirut and beyond. CAH creates forums for
scholarly collaboration and exchange, organizing workshops and symposia to facilitate the
exploration of new and challenging ideas. It also fosters exchanges between artists and
writers, encouraging creative collaboration to broaden AUB’s intellectual landscape. Building
regional relationships, CAH has established ties and exchanges with universities in Lebanon
and the wider region, contributing to a vibrant network of academic and cultural connections.
It has been instrumental in organizing significant conferences at AUB, sparking debate and
inquiry within the university and the broader community.
