Oh, the humanities: Preserving the things that keep us fed, beyond food

The study of humanities is where ethics and conscience come from, or such was the sentiment at a pair of events organized earlier this week by New Hampshire Humanities, a 40-some year old nonprofit dedicated to promoting “learning, reflection, and civil conversation in the Granite State.”

The guest of honor was Jon Parrish Peede, poet and Trump appointee, who currently heads up the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) in Washington, D.C. The NEH is a major funder of NH Humanities and its programs.
