The Faculty Advisory Council serves as a key forum for dialogue and collaboration between the Dean of Arts and Humanities and faculty across the division. Composed of representatives from a range of departments and programs, the Council provides perspective on academic priorities, divisional initiatives, and issues that affect the intellectual and creative life of the community. Its purpose is to ensure that faculty voices help shape strategic decisions, strengthen communication between the Dean’s Office and departments, and foster a shared sense of direction for the Arts and Humanities at Harvard.
