Plains Humanities Alliance

We are shaped by the language, history, landscape and literature - the humanities - of our region. The Plains Humanities Alliance is dedicated to preserving and promoting the cultural heritage of the Great Plains region. By encouraging collaboration among humanities educators, scholars, professionals, and the public, this center allows for exploring the region's history, literatures, and peoples.

The Plains Humanities Alliance (PHA) was established at UNL in the spring of 2002, after having been selected as one of nine sites for regional humanities centers by the National Endowment for the Humanities. Since that time we have developed local, regional, and national partnerships and moved forward on our programmatic priorities. The PHA became a part of the Center for Great Plains Studies in 2007.
