Connecting people with ideas (no matter what)
Human Ties
Connecting across physical distance
Special Program Note!

Please join us tomorrow, Friday, March 5 at 5 pm for our next Humanities to Go Online event. Dr. Katherine Gaudet (UNH) will present “Plague: Stories of Epidemics.” Are we living through a Biblical plague or feeling the wrath of the gods, like Thebes in the time of Oedipus? This talk explores how stories, histories, and legends of epidemics can help us understand our own time. Join us for this free, online program on Zoom.

PARTNER SPOTLIGHT:

Federation of State Humanities Councils

Each year in March, the Federation of State Humanities Councils hosts “Humanities on the Hill,” a three-day event that brings together humanities councils from all over the country to advocate for federal funding for the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), which administers funding to the humanities councils.
This year, 47 humanities councils with more than 200 staff, board, and constituents have been meeting virtually with our counterparts across the country. New Hampshire Humanities staff and Board are proud to participate this week, and we thank the Federation for providing the opportunity to come together, share our work, and learn from each other. Learn more
