NEH SUMMER PROGRAMS FOR SCHOOL AND COLLEGE EDUCATORs
Participate in an NEH Summer Program in 2013: Each summer, the National Endowment for the Humanities supports residential seminars and institutes for faculty who teach American undergraduates.
These study opportunities allow faculty and a select number of graduate students to increase their knowledge of current scholarship and advance their own teaching and research. Participants in these two- to five-week projects receive stipends to help cover travel and living expenses.
The 20 seminars and institutes for summer 2013 will address the following topics:
· Brazilian literature
· Italian unification
· Metaphysics and mind
· Early modern responses to religious pluralism
· Reassessing British Romanticism
· Early modern manuscripts and printed books
· Classic Buddhist texts
· African-American struggles for freedom and civil rights
· American material culture in nineteenth-century New York
· America’s Russian-speaking immigrants and refugees
· Translation studies
· Development ethics
· African-American poetry
· Early modern empires and interactions
· History of political economy
· History of India
· Modernism in Chicago
· African-Americans in the Georgia Lowcountry
· Music and travel, 1500-1800
· Transcendentalism and social action
Many seminars and institutes take place on American campuses; others are held at sites in Brazil, India, and Italy.
