From first hand accounts of Guantanamo Bay to ruminations on what Thomas Jefferson meant by “the pursuit of happiness” in the Declaration of Independence, Mass Humanities' group blog explores how the humanities can help us understand and contribute to public policy conversations. Drawing on the talents of forty Massachusetts writers, documentary filmmakers and humanities teachers, The Public Humanist blog appears on the website of the Valley Advocate, the Pioneer Valley's alternative weekly newspaper. Reader commentary is encouraged!
