Call for Proposals for 2025-2026 Humanities Forum

Since 1987, the Humanities Forum has offered a free program of events that illustrate the richness of contemporary work in philosophy, history, culture, language, literature, and the arts.

The Forum fosters creative thinking about the role of the humanities in civic life within our globally interconnected world.

 

The Dresher Center for the Humanities welcomes your suggestions for the upcoming season. Proposals will be vetted by the Humanities Forum Planning Committee in conversation with the Dresher Center staff. Consideration will be given to balance across fields and topics as well as orientation towards a public audience.

 

All suggestions are welcome so long as they center humanities issues, topics, methodologies, or questions.
