Title: Humanities-Based Programming for Veterans: Report on a University-Community Partnership
Author: Jessica L. Adler
Author: Brahim Almarales
Abstract: This is the final project report for War and Healing: A Century of Veterans’ Reintegration, a National Endowment for the Humanities-funded reading and discussion program for veterans, which took place in Miami, Florida in 2018-2019. It provides information about how the program was executed, as well as a summary of “lessons learned.” It is intended to be of use to humanists aiming to oversee partnerships with veterans’ organizations and local arts/cultural organizations. We provide an overview of War and Healing, including its structure and goals, as well as a description of the organizations and individuals who oversaw and supported it. We also provide information about program “outcomes” based on surveys with facilitators and participants. The Conclusion offers takeaway points regarding the implementation of humanities-focused and collaborative educational programs.
