Center for Research and Education in Arts, Technology and Entertainment

CREATE conducts multidisciplinary, project-driven initiatives. Based from the University of Central Florida, our faculty and students explore a wide range of educational, research and creative topics.

Center for Humanities and Digital Research

The purpose of the CHDR is to initiate and support both advanced research and teaching in the humanities and arts, and interdisciplinary scholarship within the humanities and with other disciplines. The institute provides space, resources, expertise, programming, and digital research support both for individuals and scholars who seek to collaboratively address issues of central concern to our time and place, to connect history to the present, and to explore new ways of understanding, and educating others about, the diversity of cultures and ideas in our society and around the globe.

Zora Neale Hurston Institute for Documentary Studies

The Zora Neale Hurston Institute for Documentary Studies will bring a world focus to the theory and practice of forms of storytelling, cinematic expression, research and programs that encourage civic engagement and meaningfully address the work of excluded communities using an arts, culture and humanities framework that is located outside the interests of the mainstream. Its' concern is creating cultural identity, sustaining community heritage and empowering communities. One of its visions is to preserve the cultural legacy its namesake embodies by employing a multidisciplinary approach to the study and presentation of communities located throughout the African Diaspora, with particular emphasis on Hurston's hometown, Eatonville, Florida, the oldest incorporated municipality in the United States established by people of African ancestry.
