And now to back up a little. Many of you will have gleaned that The Public Humanist is the one blog on the Valley Advocate site that is sponsored by another Northampton organization: Mass Humanities. Since May 2007 the Advocate has hosted our blog written by multiple contributors, most of them MA scholars, writers, and people who dream up public humanities programs. Since then, we’ve posted over 500 posts from over 60 writers, on a very broad range of humanities topics. Some of my favorites:
