Indiana Humanities Support As the INcommon name suggests, they’re eager to support proposals that utilize the tools and methods of the humanities to foster dialogue and understanding on topics related to race and ethnicity. They know that these conversations can be difficult, but they believe the humanities can create a space for people to come together to learn, consider different points of view, sometimes model respectful disagreement and discover shared values. Indiana Humanities welcomes diverse projects from across Indiana, addressing different themes and using a variety of public humanities formats. INcommon Grants can be used to support new or ongoing public humanities programs that align to the key themes. Such projects may include reading series and civic reflection discussions; public lectures or panels; film screenings and discussions; or the creation of exhibits, web projects, podcasts, walking tours or documentary films.
