"UNITED WE STAND: CONNECTING

THROUGH CULTURE" CALL FOR SPEAKERS


The New Mexico Humanities Council invites humanists, scholars, thought
leaders, and speakers to submit their applications for presentations and
facilitated discussions.

DEADLINE EXTENDED! We've extended the deadline to submit your application
until Friday, July 14th. You have a little bit of breathing room so take
advantage of the extra time and get your application in! The National
Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) has launched a new initiative titled
“United We Stand: Connecting Through Culture” to leverage the arts and
humanities against the rising tide of hate-motivated violence in America.
“United We Stand: Connecting Through Culture” will provide funding to NEH's
partners across the country for humanities programs that will encourage
social cohesion, civic engagement, and cross-cultural understanding.


To address the “United We Stand” initiative, NMHC is creating a “special
edition” catalog of speakers separate from our regular Speakers Bureau. The
goal of this special catalog is to provide New Mexico
communities—especially rural and underserved communities—with the
opportunity to learn about the components of hate-motivated violence and
the importance of cross-cultural understanding. NMHC is especially
interested in topics related to the histories of domestic extremism,
hate-based violence, inter-racial and inter-ethnic cooperation, and peace
activism in New Mexico. For “United We Stand” to be effective, NMHC and NEH
need members of our communities to step up and engage in open, honest, and
respectful discussion on these issues.


When ordinary citizens cannot go about their daily lives—going to the
grocery store, praying in their house of worship, etc.—without fear of
being targeted simply for being who they are, our national security and
democracy are at risk. The arts and humanities can be powerful tools
against ignorance and hatred. They remind us of the things we have in
common as citizens of this country and as human beings. They are the ways
we explore what it means to be “human.”


“The arts and humanities have always been an avenue for acknowledging and
expressing pain, coming to terms with that pain, and building support
networks for survivors. In moments of loss and tragedy, we come together to
both create and turn to art, poetry, music, literature for solace and
healing. And to the lessons of history for understanding, and to religion
and philosophy for acceptance. Combating hate not only requires us to
identify the root causes of that hate but also to identify our inherent
capacity for love, acceptance, empathy, and belonging.” —NEH Chair Shelly
C. Lowe. Without community solidarity, real change is impossible.


Scholars or speakers will receive a $250 honorarium per event, plus
reimbursement for mileage, lodging, and per diem. If you are interested in
being part of United We Stand as a scholar, please fill out and return an
application by July 14th. The application can be accessed here
