David Tebaldi

Executive director, Mass Humanities

...at this moment when our society needs the humanities and the arts more than ever, our nation’s two major cultural agencies, the NEH and the NEA, are threatened with extinction.

The search for a common good is the domain of the humanities. History, literature, philosophy and cultural studies provide us with the ideas and insights... we need to understand each other and, just as important, to understand ourselves.

For The Common Good: Why Funding The Humanities Matters

At this time in the life of our deeply divided nation, writes David Tebaldi, we need more humanities, not less; more art, not less; more attempts to understand ourselves and each other. (Jose Moreno/Unsplash)
