    The Public Humanities in an Age of Austerity: A Forum

    As graduate programs in the humanities look toward the public humanities to demonstrate their worth in an era of austerity, we invite you to join this lively forum, which gathers experts from Tree House Books in North Philadelphia, PA Humanities, The Rosenbach Museum & Library, Drexel, and Temple to discuss the challenges facing those working in the public humanities, the necessary value of the work they do, and what those involved in graduate education can learn from them.
