About Next Gen Humanities
Engage. Explore. Elevate. At HumanitiesAR, we are dedicated to inspiring the next generation to dive into the rich and multipronged world of the humanities. We aim to foster a community where young minds can explore history, literature, philosophy, linguistics, law, archaeology, language, and ethics connecting with others who share their passion for understanding the human experience. Through our Next Gen programming, you can engage in thoughtful book discussions, get professional development and support, attend and present at conferences, and much more. Whether you simply subscribe to our mailing list to stay in the loop or nominate yourself for our Next Gen Advisory Committee, together we can elevate the understanding and appreciation of the humanities across Arkansas.
Notes & Notations
Introducing Notes & Notations, a new zine from our Next Gen Advisory Committee!
Created by and for emerging humanities leaders, Notes & Notations will highlight opportunities for young professionals, college students, and anyone working or interested in the humanities. Each issue will feature different humanities disciplines, career pathways, and voices from the field. We’ll also share upcoming events and grant opportunities from HumanitiesAR and across the state.
Conferences
The Next Gen(eration) Humanities Conference was designed to be a first-of-its-kind whose focus is bridging the gap between education and career for young humanities professionals. The NGH Conference’s varied slate of offerings hopes to bring together this next generation of humanities educators, students, and professionals for a one-stop humanities hub. Attendees will further develop their skills and make impactful connections. Birthed from the Next Generation Advisory Committee, the NGH Conference is determined to continue to take the next steps in helping young professionals in Arkansas.
