The Portland Center for Public Humanities is a consortium of over 100 scholars who seek to foster intellectual community and activity in our metropolitan area. In addition to encouraging scholarly collaboration between our campuses and organizations, the center provides an annual slate of programs that bring scholarship and research to bear on matters of public interest.

 

The center seeks to let knowledge serve the Portland community in the most direct possible sense, by providing forums where intellectual inquiry and civic engagement come together. We seek partnerships with all local organizations who share these goals.
