RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C., April 3, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- As we think about what the future holds, the situation seems increasingly dire. Authoritarianism has been surging around the globe, the ravages of climate change appear to be accelerating, and we are confronted with ever-widening fractures among political, economic, and cultural groups.

Key Points: 
  • Can the humanities help us address 21st-century challenges and forge a more inclusive, equitable, and sustainable world?
  • What role might the humanities play in helping us address the challenges we face and find common ground?
  • Is any of that even possible with humanities majors in decline and humanities insights being ignored and even attacked in some places?
  • The National Humanities Center is the world's only independent institute dedicated exclusively to advanced study in all areas of the humanities.
