Organizations are responsible for identifying a humanities scholar (or graduate student) who is willing to facilitate the four 90-minute discussions that make up the selected series. For more information, please read Who Qualifies as a Scholar Facilitator? in our Common Questions.
Host organizations have the option to apply for the use of Council-supplied books or to arrange their own. For more information on both options, please read How do I get the books for the series? in our Common Questions.
Complete and submit the Reading Between the Lines application. You must also include the resume of the scholar you have identified with your application. Application deadlines are listed at the top of this page.
The Council provides templates on our Coordinator Admin page for promotional flyers and press releases. You are expected to make every effort to draw a large and diverse audience to your program. Need help with your series? Consult our Planning Tips.
This program was originally piloted in the spring of 2003 in partnership with the Center for the Humanities of the Graduate Center of the City University of New York. New series are developed by graduate students at CUNY and the State University of New York at Buffalo through our Public Humanities Fellowship. |
