Join Humanities Washington for a deep dive into the state of democracy, voting, and civic engagement.

Deepening polarization is eroding faith in the electoral and democratic process on which our democracy depends. What can we do to cultivate mutual respect, repair damaged relationships, and reweave a civic fabric frayed from years of growing division?

Re:building Democracy consists of three one-hour radio shows, produced by stations KUOW (Seattle), KPBX (Spokane), and Northwest Public Broadcasting (statewide), and a series of online conversations with experts produced by Humanities Washington. We will also be creating a special edition of Spark magazine focused on civic engagement, to be released in April.

Explore with us one of the key questions of our time: How can we increase America’s commitment to democratic governance?

Our Mission

Humanities Washington opens minds and bridges divides by creating spaces to explore different perspectives.

"The humanities are the genie in the bottle of the world. They are to economics what a magic flute is to a cash register, to science what a bird of paradise is to a lab rat, and to most political systems what a disco ball is to a ball and chain. That's why I'm high on Humanities Washington."

Tom Robbins

Author, Even Cowgirls Get the Blues
