Humanities and Sciences Department

The Humanities and Sciences Department at Cornish College of the Arts is staffed by liberal studies faculty representing a broad range of disciplinary backgrounds. All faculty are deeply committed to teaching, and to helping you develop as a learner while exploring the connections between the arts and the world at large. Our aim is to inspire the habits necessary for life-long learning and to help you develop the kind of confidence and competence that will serve you well both during and after college, whether in your personal or professional life. The department is headed by Chris Kellett, Ph.D., who has a background in literature and writing and has worked in higher education for over thirty years.  Core faculty include Lauren Basson, Amanda Hill, Erica Howard, Kim Mackay, Tanya Matthews and Raymond Maxwell.
