Portland Center for Public Humanities

The Portland Center for Public Humanities is an organization dedicated to connecting academic research in the humanities—like history, literature, and culture—with real-world community engagement. It aims to foster dialogue, understanding, and collaboration between scholars and diverse audiences through programs, events, and projects that highlight human experiences, promote cultural awareness, and address social issues. By bridging academia and the public, it seeks to enrich community life and deepen appreciation for the humanities’ relevance to everyday questions and challenges.
