Did you know that we once published a magazine? Humanities magazine was curated by our Publications office, all of whom were let go. The last issue was printed mere days before DOGE raided NEH. It hasn’t been removed from our site (yet), so you can still peruse this fantastic pub. shorturl.at/6Mco1

Labor day weekend is as good a time as any to prepare to respond to the season to come.

Congrats Sheila!

Hire a former NEH fed!
