What kinds of projects does Humanities Texas fund?
Funded projects take many different forms—lectures, paneldiscussions, and conferences; teacher institutes and workshops; reading and film discussion groups; site interpretations; the development and fabrication of interpretive exhibits; and the production of films, television and radio programming, and interactive media. However, all funded programs have the following characteristics in common. • They are firmly grounded in the humanities. • Humanities scholars play an active role in their conception, design, and execution. • They are conducted in a spirit of open and informed inquiry. • They are directed primarily to the general public, both adults and young people, outside of the regular school or college classroom. Programs targeting special audiences such as K-12 teachers, ethnic and community groups, or professional groups are also welcome.
