Humanities —linued from 1,8861
Joan Pierson, who will
oversee the outreach program as
its administrator, said the lec
ture series will eventually bring
“lively public lectures in the
humanities within reach of 95
percent of the people in
Oregon.”
As many as 99 different
events will be scheduled in the
state by the final year of the
grant, said Bob Berdahl, dean of
the school of arts and sciences.
“As a person who lives in
both the community and the
University, I’m always disturb
ed about the walls that go up”
between the campus and the
community, Pierson said. "The
people who teach, write and
research are a great resource”
for the community, she added.
And in the era of increasing
high technology, humanities
are the necessary tools needed
to measure and understand
these advances, Pierson said.
The three-fold aim of the pro
gram — providing some smaller
and more functional classes in
the humanities, the public
outreach program and a
research program — are all
geared toward the public, Ber
dahl said. He also stated that the
grant will be the keystone in
this effort.
In the past, “humanities
didn’t suffer a bad reputation so
much as it suffered from
neglect. I see a resurgence of in
terest on this campus,” said
Berdahl.
Olum said that once the
statewide outreach program is
established and the grant ex
pires, the University intends to
continue funding the program.
But he added that the state’s
support for higher education
will determine the program’s
financial base and its future.
If higher education funding
in Oregon is brought into par
with the average funding in
other states, Olum said, the
University will keep the
humanities outreach program
alive.
