AHC Speakers Bureau Presentations for
Project Civil Discourse
AHC encourages local communities to develop Speakers Bureau programs that unite a humanities perspective with civil discourse techniques for public discussion of contemporary issues. Below is a list of presentations that address contemporary issues, given by scholars who can interpret how these issues impact civil discourse in our society. These are suggested programs; you may find other Speakers Bureau presentations in AHC's Program Catalog that are appropriate for a Project Civil Discourse program. AHC staff is available to assist with program planning.
To apply for a Speakers Bureau presentation, please consult the Speakers Bureau Guidelines for eligibility and instructions. Please note on your application that this will be a Project Civil Discourse program.
