Humanities Washington announces its first cohort of Public Humanities Fellows, who will plan and implement innovative programs for their communities with an emphasis on reaching under-served communities. AES Lecturer Monica Cortés Viharo is among the cohort of four fellows, chosen by a statewide committee of humanities experts -- the first of its kind in Washington.
Dr. Cortés Viharo will develop curricula centering on democracy and civics to complement Humanities Washington’s Speakers Bureau and better serve K-12 students and teachers. These lessons will leverage the deep expertise already present within the Speakers Bureau, making knowledge accessible to a wider audience.
