e/Public humanities

Information
has gloss	eng: Public humanities is a term used to describe the work of organizations, including federal and state humanities agencies, that support and present lectures, exhibitions, and other programs for the general public on topics that include history, philosophy, and the arts. The American Council of Learned Societies' National Task Force on Scholarship and the Public Humanities suggests that the nature of public humanities work is to teach the public the findings of academic scholarship: it sees "scholarship and the public humanities not as two distinct spheres but as parts of a single process, the process of taking private insight, testing it, and turning it into public knowledge." Others suggest a more balanced understanding of the ways in which history, heritage and culture are shared between the academy and the public. Public humanities programs explore ways in which humanities may enrich everyday life.
