The New York Council for the Humanities has activated its Public 
Scholars program: The Public Scholars program promotes vibrant public 
humanities engagement across New York State by offering a selection of 
dynamic, compelling presentations facilitated by humanities scholars. 
The Public Scholars program replaces the Council’s Speakers in the 
Humanities program, and both expands upon and deepens the premise of 
that longstanding program.

Any tax-exempt organization in New York State is eligible to apply for a 
speaker to come and lead a program.

I'm proud to be among the speakers chosen for the group, from all over 
the state. We all got together in August for a weekend of workshops. The 
range and interests of the speakers was so impressive -- and such good 
speakers, too! Here's the link with the list of presenters and topics 
and information on how to book us.
