[Libs-Or] Conversation Project: A New Chautauqua - Application Deadline September 30

[Annie Dubinsky]

The Oregon Council for the Humanities is pleased to announce our online
catalog of programs for the 2009­10 Conversation Project: A New Chautauqua.
In the first application window, Oregon nonprofits may apply between August
1 and September 30, 2009 for program requests that fall between November 1,
2009 and February 28, 2010.
 
The catalog, instructions for host organizations, and downloadable
application form are available at www.oregonhumanities.org.
 
The 2009­10 Conversation Project lineup features seventeen programs
presented by sixteen scholars from around the state. This season¹s programs
span diverse topics, including friendship, the future of rural communities,
media literacy, and reimagining the American prison system. Scholars hail
from Ashland, Corvallis, McMinnville, Portland, and Salem.
 
Much like the current Oregon Chautauqua program, which runs through August
2009, the overarching goal of the Conversation Project will be to offer
statewide opportunities for civic dialogue and humanities learning, but with
a greater emphasis on contemporary issues through interactive, facilitated
conversations rather than traditional scholar presentations.

For more information, please contact Program Coordinator Annie Dubinsky at
(503) 241-0543, ext. 116, or adubinsky at oregonhumanities.org.

Apply to host a conversation today!
