I spent the last five years serving public history, arts, and culture at NEH. Please take a moment to let your representatives know you support NEH. Or read on and I can tell you a little bit about why I believe in public funding for the humanities.

On Monday, March 31, 2025 we learned that DOGE is targeting the NEH with the aim of substantially reducing its staff, cutting the agency’s grant programs, and rescinding grants that have already been awarded.

1975 Mozambique 50 Centimos w/ Samora Machel & cashews. Minted in 1st year of independence but never circulated, most destroyed. Part of planned 'metica' currency derailed by post-independence chaos. Fascinating history behind this one.

We knew this was coming. I abandoned grant plans that I’d spent all summer prototyping because I couldn’t justify the work that was necessary to apply when we’d just get a desk reject. What really kills me is the effect this has on amazing early career researchers out there. +
