News
New Hampshire Humanities extends its deep gratitude to the following board members who finished their terms on our Board of Directors last month: Steve Barba, Kathy Gillett, Inez McDermott, and Dan Will. We’re pleased to welcome five new board members from all corners of the state and hope you’ll have the opportunity to meet them in the coming year.
New Hampshire Humanities is pleased to announce the 2018 recipients of our New Hampshire Humanities High School Book Awards, awarded annually to high school juniors who have demonstrated genuine curiosity about history, literature, languages, or philosophy and who hope to deepen that knowledge in college.
Join us on September 21 at 6:30 pm at the Dana Center at Saint Anselm College for the William Treat Lecture for a conversation with U.S. Senator Susan Collins (R-ME) and Virginia Prescott of Georgia Public Broadcasting in "Civility, Cooperation, & Compromise: Why Our Constitutional Republic Requires Them."
Ideas on Tap: Making Our Way in Post-Fact America
Join us for the first event in our new "Ideas on Tap," a quarterly series that examines big questions about timely topics in our civic life. In our 24-hour news cycle, there’s often not enough time to separate fact from fiction before content goes viral. Information travels too quickly and articles are shared without being read closely or evaluated for accuracy. Is the misinformation, disinformation, and political propaganda more acute today than ever before? Join us for a conversation and Q & A with a journalist, legal expert, and educator about the role and influence of mass media in our democracy.
Moderator: Erika Janik, Executive Producer, NHPR (Moderator)
Presenters: Adam Sexton, News Director, WMUR
William L. Chapman, Attorney, Orr & Reno, PA Mark Timney, Associate Professor of Journalism, Keene State College
Cost is $10 per person and includes appetizers and one beverage (beer, wine, or non-alcoholic drink) in the relaxed atmosphere of the Barley House B Lounge. Please RSVP by October 16. TICKETS
