Program Overview

*Out of concern for the health of our communities across the state, we and our partners are canceling all Humanities Washington events through at least April. We will continue to update you as the situation changes. Want to explore the humanities online? Check out our Cabin Fever Questions project and our blog.*

Our Think & Drink events are hosted conversations at pubs and tasting rooms on provocative topics and new ideas.

Experts, artists, and activists from a variety of disciplines participate in a moderated discussion, with a strong emphasis on audience participation. Past events tackled topics from consumerism to political polarization, geoengineering, race in the Pacific Northwest, and many more, and sparked lively conversation about morality, religion, history, and politics. Events are held periodically throughout the year in Seattle, Spokane, Tacoma, Yakima, the Tri-Cities, and Bellingham.

In fall 2019 and spring 2020, we’re presenting a statewide Think & Drink series called, The Wired Mind: How the Internet is Changing Humanity.

This program is made possible with support from the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Satterberg Foundation, and the Norcliffe Foundation.
