About the Work

At Oregon Humanities, we strive to always be learning and reflecting on our work. Here's where we share what we learn as we refine our programs and practices.


Strategic Framework

Oregon Humanities 2026–28 strategic framework during an ongoing moment of division, polarization, and risk. These difficult trends pose real challenges for our state and nation, and for our organization, but they are also a large part of the reason the work matters so much. In response to division, we work toward cohesion; in response to polarization, we work toward mutual understanding; and in response to cultural and organizational risk, we see opportunities to think together and to build and grow.

This strategic framework commences during the 250th anniversary of our nation’s founding. We see this as a perfect opportunity to redouble our imperfect efforts toward a more inclusive, participatory, and thoughtful democracy.
