The International Network for the Comparative Humanities (INCH) is a working group of literary scholars from both sides of the Atlantic dedicated to promoting the comparative study of humanities.

Their goal is to develop a new model for making connections across the humanities, one that stresses the importance of collaboration across national, disciplinary, and institutional boundaries.

The general program is a yearly sequence of workshops that brings faculty and students together across INCH for sustained discussions inside and outside the seminar room and lecture hall.
