Through its Speakers Bureau program, the DHF offers a wide selection of informal lecture/discussion presentations designed to promote a better understanding of the world in which we live. These programs are offered to non-profit organizations throughout Delaware as part of the 'Friends of the Forum' membership program. Only members of the Delaware Humanities Forum can reserve speakers and take advantage of our wide assortment of presentations. Review the membership form (provided in our new Speakers Bureau downloadable index, linked below) for details of what your membership provides.

The Speakers Bureau program is utilized by all types of community groups, including school and civic associations, service clubs, faith-based organizations, historical societies, senior centers, libraries and more. Our presentations are designed to be appeal to various audiences and to be enjoyable, but also to serve the higher purpose of stretching participants' minds and imaginations. Presentations fall under three main categories:

• The Arts
  • Art & Architecture
  • Language & Literature
  • Sound & Stage
• Culture & Society
  • Ethics & Public Policy
  • Pastimes Old and New
  • Religion
  • Women's Lives
• History
  • African American Experience
  • Delmarva History & Native Peoples
  • Global Issues & World History
  • United States History

These topics often overlap, and often address multiple humanities disciplines, so please be sure to review our entire listing of topics - you may find your favorite presentation in an unexpected place! If there is something you are looking for and you cannot find it, call or email the office and we may be able to help (302-657-0650 or 800-752-2060 or info@dhf.org).
