The Center for Historical Enquiry & the Social Sciences highlights the interplay between history and the present. Its work spurs new collective thinking about large-scale social transformations and solutions to seemingly intractable social crises and problems. Taking intellectual risks is actively encouraged.
Study Groups
CHESS supports study groups at the intersection of social science and history. If you’re a Yale graduate student and have an idea for an interdisciplinary reading group in that vein, reach out to chess@yale.edu for more information about how CHESS can help you.
International Exchanges
Yale CHESS maintains relationships with both University College London (UCL) and the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales (EHESS) in Paris.
