Michael Kramp, professor of English at Lehigh University in Bethlehem, PA, considers these questions and many with numerous guests, including Dr. Stephanie Shonekan, Dean of the College of Arts and Humanities at the University of Maryland, Dr. Robert Newman, former President at the National Humanities Center, Dr. Robert Townsend of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and Dr. Heather Hewett, former Program Officer at the American Council of Learned Societies.
