Have a great idea for an annual theme? Each year the Institute organizes many of its activities around a theme and we’re looking for suggestions for 2026-27, 2027-28 and 2028-29. We welcome theme ideas from the entire university community; themes will be selected by the JHI Advisory Board. Each theme should reach across multiple disciplines and offer foci to leading research in the Humanities. For each theme you propose, please provide a title and 2-3 sentences describing the theme’s scope and focus. Multiple suggestions are welcome. As a thank you, you’ll have a chance to win one of two $50 gift certificates to the U of T Bookstore.
Previous themes can be viewed here.
The Annual Theme is a focus for the following JHI programs:
- Faculty Research Fellowships (12-month residential)
- Distinguished Visiting Indigenous Faculty Fellow

- Visiting Public Humanities Faculty Fellow
- New Media and Public Humanities Postdoctoral Fellow
