About Us

It’s been exactly two weeks since we welcomed Phoebe Stein as the new Federation President so we wanted to catch her (in between all the Zoom meetings!) to see how she is doing, what it feels like to begin her leadership during a pandemic, her thoughts about the organization and humanities community as a whole, and finally whether she’s a virtual coffee break or happy hour kind of person!

The 2020 National Humanities Conference is scheduled to take place November 5-8, 2020 in Indianapolis, Indiana, home of the St. Elmo Shrimp Cocktail, the Indy 500, and six vice presidents! As we gear up for the big event, we asked Indiana Humanities to share these 10 fun facts about the state and host city, Indianapolis.

Extend your documentary repertoire with several unique offerings from state humanities councils! Films from a wide range of topics such as Responding to COVID, the Veteran Experience, Women’s History and UNLADYLIKE2020, Virtual Theater, Hoosier Film Festival and more, can be found and viewed by just clicking a button. Let us know your thoughts by tagging us on social @HumFed and using #HumanitiesAtHome.
