Florida Humanities, the statewide, nonprofit affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) has awarded the Department of Humanities & Politics with a Broadcasting Hope Media Grant to support Florida 2100: Tales of Tomorrow, a public podcast series.

Florida 2100 uses the power of storytelling to shed light on the challenges and opportunities the state of Florida faces in the 21st century. This podcast series aims to bring together scholarly experts, community voices, and artists to examine topics such as environmental sustainability, linguistic diversity, technological innovation, and cultural resilience, all while envisioning Florida’s potential in the year 2100.

According to Professor Furiasse “The grant offers a unique opportunity to develop innovative, humanities programming that can reach a broad audience and foster a more informed and proactive citizenry invested in Florida’s long-term well-being and sustainability, ultimately contributing to a brighter, more resilient future.”

Funding for this program was provided through a grant from Florida Humanities with funds from the National Endowment for the Humanities. Any views, findings, conclusions, or recommendations expressed in this program do not necessarily represent those of Florida Humanities or the National Endowment for the Humanities.
