Our mission to understand contemporary cultural change and its consequences is carried out in the rare context of a thriving community in which disciplines and generations intersect. Institute Fellows come together to pursue the highest level of scholarship on the most important questions facing the late-modern era. The Institute is led in this endeavor by the Institute Council.
The heart of the Institute’s research agenda is to develop the highest level of scholarship on the most important questions facing the contemporary world. Within an interdisciplinary community, the Institute conducts both theoretical and empirically grounded research in major areas of social life. Our research is organized into six colloquies and three labs.
The Institute’s Phenomenology Labs attempt to understand how people are grappling with cultural change at the level of lived experience, in their daily lives.
Published three times a year, The Hedgehog Review offers critical reflections on contemporary culture—how we shape it, and how it shapes us.

The THR Blog is designed to sustain the conversation around cultural change between The Hedgehog Review's three issues.
