Details:
The public humanities bring the insights and knowledge of humanities disciplines – history, literature, philosophy, ethics, archeology, anthropology, linguistics, geography, the law or legal theory, classics, and cultural or religious studies – to bear on public life. Public humanities programs offer people the opportunity to interpret, question, and debate new ideas while learning about the world in which they live. Through such programs, the public humanities strengthen civic discourse and foster an informed citizenry, and, therefore, fundamentally support both our local communities and national democracy.
In 2020, they awarded grants totaling just over $62,000 to eligible non-profits and tax-exempt organizations that developed such public humanities programs. Award recipients included cultural and civic organizations, museums, colleges, libraries, historical societies, theaters, and other nonprofits around the state. Programs ranged from an exploration of the shifting relationships between Abenaki and European settlers in eighteenth-century New Hampshire to discussions focusing on ways the railroad’s construction impacted towns and communities across the country.
