Speakers Directory
The Humanities Texas Speakers Directory includes scholars and experts prepared to provide public presentations on a wide range of literary, cultural, and historical topics. Lecture topics range from Africans in Colonial Mexico and Mexican Texans in the Civil War to the best practices in conducting oral histories.
The Speakers Directory makes these entertaining and informative presentations available at a reasonable cost, with a maximum honorarium of $500 for a single presentation. We encourage organizations to apply for Humanities Texas mini-grants to help defray these costs and to report back on the presentations they host.
