Ideas Matter - The Humanities In The 21st Century

We are very happy to continue our regular feature – Ideas Matter: Checking in with the Public Humanities. Today’s we’ll be thinking about how to engage the public with the humanities in this young century by taking a bird's eye view of the state of the public humanities by talking with Sara Ogger and Michael Frisch on the history of the field, its current state, and new initiatives to engage the broader public with the humanities.

Our guests are Sara Ogger, the Executive Director of the New York Council for the Humanities, and Mike Frisch, Professor of History and American Studies at SUNY Buffalo.

Joe talks to people on the radio for a living. In addition to countless impressive human "gets" - he has talked to a lot of Muppets. Joe grew up in Philadelphia, has been on the area airwaves for more than 25 years and currently lives in Washington County, NY with his wife, Kelly, and their dog, Brady. And yes, he reads every single book.
