The Wyoming Council for the Humanities will join with the American Studies program at the University of Wyoming and the Wyoming Health Resources Network to develop a series of literature-based discussion programs designed for civic leaders, school boards, local governments, service organizations, business organizations, and labor unions to bring together a diverse group of people to talk about what makes a healthy community and a good society. The Montana Committee for the Humanities will work with several partners, including the Center for the Rocky Mountain West at the University of Montana, the Montana Consensus Council, the Montana Extension Service, Bozeman Public Library and the Western Heritage Center on a project called “Toward Deliberative Dialogue in Western Communities" to encourage more thoughtful public conversations on topics important to the civic and cultural life of all Montanans.
