People often forget how intertwined classical studies (and the arts and humanities) are with our everyday lives. It is from Classical Antiquity where we have inherited most if not all of our core beliefs, political institutions, philosophies, knowledge of science, and overall social edifices.

This decision will deprive FrancoOntarians of the ability to study Ancient Greek and Latin in their own language in their home province (an unfortunate outcome for an institution that prides itself on being “the largest English-French bilingual university in the world”).

"I took Latin courses at the University of Ottawa and it was one of the highlights of my time there. Latin and Greek are important languages to know for medical students, as it helps them understand medical terms easier. "

Learn: Lesson Plans Lesson plans for teachers who wish to use The American Soldier in World War II.

Happy VE Day! During WWII, soldiers anonymously wrote their opinions on combat and other topics in a series of surveys. "These handwritten opinions sat largely untouched for decades until digitized and transcribed by The American Soldier in World War II project." #NEHGrant #SaveTheHumanities

It’s disheartening - and infuriating - that a popular history conference is ending because of university staff cuts. Institutions should be encouraging public engagement, not preventing it! This loss echoes far beyond CCCU #SaveTheHumanities #HistoryMatters #CKHH #Canterbury

Our Work Is Under Threat: Here's How To Help — Nevada Humanities The termination of funding for Nevada Humanities will have a disastrous effect on the people of Nevada. Here's how you can help.

Nevada Humanities was informed on April 2, 2025 that that their primary source of funding has been terminated by DOGE—effective immediately. Link below has details about how to help. www.nevadahumanities.org/advocate

Cultural groups across U.S. told that federal humanities grants are terminated Among the thousands of groups affected by the sudden cessation of funds are state arts councils, museums, historic sites, archives, libraries, educators and media outlets in all 50 states.

The Trump administration's abrupt cancellation of NEH grants guts vital funding for museums, libraries, historical sites, and educators across the U.S. This undermines the preservation of community history, leaving cultural institutions in crisis. #SaveTheHumanities www.npr.org/2025/04/03/n...

URGENT: Save the NEH

DOGE is terminating NEH staff and cutting grant funding. Please contact your representative to urge them to stop this. This link makes it very easy for you to do that. #Savethehumanities

This is exactly right. A less educated public is easier to control. Save the humanities! Save our schools! Education, arts, literature, museums, etc., should be accessible to all and fully funded. #keeplearning #savethehumanities #keepeducationfunded #resist #standup #fightback

I had a fun conversation with colleagues in the Humanities, which helps me do some research for this blog. I have always enjoyed learning about history and am grateful for the many opportunities to do that in England. #SaveTheHumanities #HumanitiesMatter #FundTheHumanities

Totally agree! 😡 Short-sighted cuts with long-term consequences. Languages are vital! #savethehumanities

Excellent letters here from @emmacayley.bsky.social & others #HEcuts #savethehumanities

Have just read on Facebook that New Zealand has cut Humanities and Social Sciences research off from public funding. This short-sighted decision undermines critical thinking and cultural understanding. A warning to us all: this could happen elsewhere. #HumanitiesMatter #SaveTheHumanities

💯% true!
