The retention of eight staff members and five consultants, who would postpone 2020 events and plan virtual gatherings.

Currently, CIC is engaged in continuations of longstanding seminars as well as the implementation of several important new projects in the humanities. The activities proposed for the period July 1 through December 31, 2020 will maintain the employment of CIC staff involved in the managing of these important programs in the humanities and ensure that postponed programs will continue by engaging their participants in activities during the period in which events were originally to have taken place. These projects include: Humanities Research for the Public Good, New Currents in Teaching Philosophy, Legacies of American Slavery, Teaching Interfaith Understanding, Teaching Pre-Modern European Art in Context, Deliberation and Debate, and The American Civil War: Origins and Consequences.
