Humanities Forward is a series of gatherings we are hosting to foster conversation and partnership among humanities organizations, professionals, and supporters across the state. At these events, we'll discuss the current state and envisioned future of the humanities in New Jersey in 2026.
Topics will include funding concerns, the state and national humanities landscape, and how NJCH can best support critical humanities work in New Jersey. We’ll also help answer your questions on federal and state funding.
Multiple gatherings will be scheduled during the spring for the convenience of our statewide humanities community, with a purpose to set aside space and time to share information, listen, and brainstorm.
The gatherings will build on a successful series of events held in 2025. RSVP for the 2026 events and read takeaways from the 2025 events below.
