Alaska Humanities Forum

We are committed to excellence and to maintaining the public trust. The Alaska Humanities Forum will act with integrity, upholding a policy of honesty, transparency and fairness to all. This entails careful stewardship of resources, both fiscal and cultural. We recognize and respect our differences; we seek and celebrate our common ground. We consider all perspectives and actively invite engagement. We appreciate human dignity and respect individual worth and values. We strive to be an organization that embraces the diversity of all Alaskans. We celebrate culture in all of its evolving forms. We look for the common threads that make up the past and weave the future. We preserve the rich heritage of our state and foster cross-cultural understanding. We listen and invite others to exchange ideas through dialogue. We encourage collaboration in which each person has a seat at the table. When we all work together, we move forward together. We encourage lifelong learning and curiosity as we explore and question the world around us. We offer a safe venue to examine difficult ideas and we look for ways to inspire critical thinking. We share what we know, and we incorporate what we learn from others.
