Ideas on Tap

In 2016, the Mississippi Humanities Council launched its newest Council-conducted initiative, Ideas on Tap, a series of regular humanities-based community discussions about important contemporary issues. Each program includes a panel discussion featuring knowledgeable participants who present a wide spectrum of opinions on the topic, as well as a chance for audience members to share their thoughts and responses. Past programs have included “Why are Young People Leaving Mississippi,” “What Does our State Flag Symbolize,” and “What Now: Mississippi and the Aftermath of the 2016 Presidential Election.”

Ideas on Tap is held once a month at Hal & Mal’s in Jackson. The program has also expanded to other communities around the state including Cleveland, Clarksdale, Hernando, Oxford, Tupelo, Meridian, Starkville, Hattiesburg, and Pass Christian.
