HOSTED BY: Oregon Humanities

Oregon Humanities is dedicated to fostering connections among people from diverse backgrounds, experiences, and beliefs. Each year, they offer hundreds of public conversations and programs across the state, train and support dozens of discussion facilitators, and award grants and fellowships that help people connect, reflect, and cultivate a stronger sense of agency in their communities. In their magazine and on their website, they publish stories that explore the thoughts, perspectives, and experiences of Oregonians. The long-term goal is for Oregon Humanities’ work to make significant and broad contributions to a more cohesive, inclusive, and imaginative democratic culture.
