Countering the trend that pits underfunded public universities against each other for ever diminishing resources, the Common Wealth of Kentucky (HCWK) provides a vehicle to collaboratively amplify the wealth of Kentucky’s humanities projects. From bluegrass music to Appalachian literature; from the indigenous traditions embedded in the landscape to the naked mountain tops; from histories of horses to curations of the craft movements—the rich, vibrant, and diverse creative energy in the Commonwealth points to the civic importance of a humanities education that links the Commonwealth to the world.
