Projects Underway
- Arts & Letters Lecturer Interview Series
- [email from Ann Bermingham, March 19, 2012]
"I spoke with Arts and Lectures today and they are on board with the idea of having their speakers give a short statement about the value of the humanities for them. Roman suggested that instead of video recordings--which would be hard to coordinate with the speakers schedules--that we instead do voice recordings that we can up load and use. Roman will do the interview/recordings for us.
He'd like a short text to show the speakers in order to get their consent, and then 3 questions that could be posed to them and that they'd answer into the tape recorder.
What we need to provide then is text, questions, and a tape recorder." - Interview Questions (and intro statement for interviewees) (doc) :
- 1. What do you value in the humanities?
- 2. How did the humanities help you to become the success you are today?
- 3. If you were to encourage your own child to study the humanities, what reason would you give?
- 4. Anything else you would like to add?
