The Conversation Project offers Oregon nonprofits free programs that engage community members in thoughtful, challenging conversations about ideas critical to our daily lives and our state's future. Conversations are facilitated by some of Oregon's most respected humanities scholars.
Race and change in Oregon. Life after war. Censorship in literature. Rethinking downtown. These are just a few of topics available during the 2011-12 Conversation Project season.
The Conversation Project provides Oregon nonprofits free humanities-based public programs that are interactive and discussion-based. They are structured opportunities to bring people together to learn from an expert, share ideas, and understand differing perspectives on a given subject. Conversations are free to host, last between sixty and ninety minutes, and are led by humanities experts who have undergone training in facilitating public dialogue. Themed discussion series and programs offered in Spanish are also available.
Through September 30, 2011, Oregon nonprofits may apply for Conversation Project programs that take place between November 1, 2011, and February 28, 2012. The catalog, instructions for host organizations, and downloadable application form are available at the Conversation Project page.

Commentary
I am interested in a discussion about Race and Change in Oregon through sports culture in Oregon. By looking at the Oregon football and basketball programs of the public universities suggests that enormous change has occurred regarding race in the state.
It is the perfect frame in which to broach a discussion about racial progress and post-race America. I would love to participate in such a conversation with any of the experts that Oregon Humanities has chosen for this year.
