The humanities are seen as our best hope for building a better future, breaking free from individual limitations and understanding various perspectives and social forces. They emphasize making history relevant and encouraging reflection on the shared human experience, moving beyond formal education into the public sphere. Public humanities programming, associated with areas like history, values, cultures, and beliefs, aims to make critical thinking and reflection accessible to diverse audiences.
The Action Grants are focused on "doing" in the realm of public humanities projects, including fieldwork for oral history projects, hosting public humanities programs, creating humanities-based public exhibitions and tours, supporting humanities-based programming for exhibitions, and producing digital and multimedia humanities projects. Ideal for projects ready for implementation, these grants favor proposals that are beyond the planning stage and have clear objectives, while projects with many unresolved questions are less competitive.
