Welcome to the Academy

The Academy of Arts, Letters, Culture and Public Affairs at UTT seeks to enhance the vision of the technical university by bringing to it an empowering awareness of the region's artistic and cultural practices. The Academy is committed to learning through all the recognizable communities in Trinidad and Tobago.

Established February 28th, 2005 as an Institute for Advanced Study and Research, dedicated to rediscovering the aspects of the cultures of the Region that have been hidden, repressed and neglected or presented in a discourse that all too often misrepresents value and significance, the Academy at UTT considers itself an Academy for the 'Humanities.' This encompasses Social and Behavioural Sciences, Philosophy, History, as well as Cultural, Political and Religious practices.

These areas are all promoted and developed via:

• Advanced Study
• Research
• Public Outreach and Critical Thinking
