4Humanities local chapters are the strong “nodes” of the international 4Humanities initiative. They organize humanities advocacy communities, projects, research, and events at their local institutions. They act in concert on regional meetings and initiative-wide shared projects. They are the villages meant in the expression “it takes a village” when new media creates what Marshall McLuhan called the “global village.”

Currently, 4Humanities has local chapters at Auburn U., California State U., Northridge (CSUN), McGill U., NY6 (New York 6 Consortium of Liberal Arts Schools — Colgate U., Hamilton C., Hobart and William Smith C., Skidmore C., St. Lawrence U., and Union C.), U. California, Santa Barbara (UCSB), U. California, Los Angeles (UCLA). Another local chapter is 4Hum@DHMakerBus, a semi-nomadic chapter based in London, Canada, that travels on the DHMakerBus to facilitate 4Humanities and other events at localities and conferences across North America.
