Oregon Humanities, the state partner of the National Endowment for the Humanities, supports community dialogue around important issues through its Conversation Project. Facilitated conversations held on a variety of topics challenge community members to express their opinions and consider new perspectives. The program inspires inquiry and reflection and fosters trust, relationships, and a sense of agency—all with the goal of creating more just communities throughout the state.

“There is a strong and continued interest in questions around race and identity. The toughest questions—where there seems to be the most division—those are what people want to talk about most.”

–Adam Davis, Executive Director, Oregon Humanities
