Statewide Programs
Carolina Public Humanities is excited to be bringing the scholarship of UNC-CH into conversation with partners around North Carolina. We work with colleges, libraries, museums, and other community organizations on public events that bring people together around humanities themes.
Upcoming Programs
Events will be posted here as they are planned throughout the year. Check back for more! And if you want to bring a CPH collaboration to your community or know of an organization we should connect with, we want to hear from you! Please reach out to Joanna Flynn, Associate Director for Statewide Collaborations, at jsflynn@email.unc.edu.
