Conversation Project programs cover topics such as marriage, life after war and the use and preservation of Oregon’s natural resources.
Communities around the state have year-round access to free discussions through the Conversation Project, a program of Oregon Humanities that brings Oregonians together to discuss provocative issues and ideas.
Forty-nine Conversation Project programs will take place in twenty-nine communities around the state this spring. This season’s programs address such topics as the state of marriage, urban-rural relations, cultural attitudes toward death and aging, and the use and preservation of Oregon’s natural resources. Programs scheduled between March 1 and June 30, 2014, are listed below by county.
