#ChristenCommentary Episode 1: NEA Funding, Cultural Diplomacy, and Soft Power
In the wake of the National Endowment for the Arts canceling grants around the country, this emergency advance preview of the #ChristenCommentary podcast elevates the conversation around the topic of NEA arts funding and seeks to escape the usual partisan talking points on this issue. Christen makes the case that NEA funding is a matter of national interest for cultural diplomacy and soft power. She offers robust history and context on this issue and answers counter points especially those around transferring the burden to the private sector.
