Welcome to CISSC

The Centre for Interdisciplinary Studies in Society and Culture (CISSC) brings together Concordia's scholars, researchers, artists and students to exchange ideas and develop interdisciplinary projects in the humanities and arts. 

The Centre is also home to the interdisciplinary Ph.D. in Humanities doctoral program. Since 1973, students in the program have pursued innovative interdisciplinary research and art-based practice in areas that span the Humanities, Social Sciences, and Fine Arts.

CISSC is a member of the Consortium of Humanities Centres and Institutes. The Centre is unique in Quebec and one of a very small number of humanities centres in Canada.
