Inspired by the National Day of Action For Higher Education on April 17, 2025, the OSU Center for the Humanities is pleased to convene an open gathering and planning forum focused generally on the Crisis in Higher Education as it pertains to Humanities research. Our goal for this meeting is to draw together humanities colleagues from across CAS and OSU to encourage dialogue around to leverage our collective strengths toward supporting our research and teaching. We seek to build community as response to increasingly difficult conditions, including but not limited to material support for our scholarship.
