ANNOUNCING: Summer 2001
National Endowment for the Humanities (U.S.A.)
Seminars and Institutes for College and University Teachers
Application Deadline: March 1, 2001
Each summer the National Endowment for the Humanities supports a variety of
study opportunities in the humanities for faculty who teach American
undergraduates. Seminars and institutes are national, residential, and
rigorous. Designed to strengthen the quality of the humanities teaching and
scholarship, they are led by some of the nation's outstanding scholars and
take place at major colleges and universities and archival facilities
across the United States and abroad.
Topics considered among the 24 seminars and institutes during the summer of
the year 2001 include the African Diaspora, literature in the age of
information technologies, American Pragmatism and culture, environmental
ethics, and the post-communist experience in Eastern Europe. For a
complete list of both seminars and institutes, go to the NEH Web site
(http://www.neh.gov/html/seminars2.html), or phone (202/606-8463), or
e-mail (sem-inst@neh.gov).
The listings contain seminar and institute titles and the means to contact
each director. Prospective applicants can request information from as many
seminar and institute directors as they wish but may apply to only two NEH
summer offerings.
In response to a request for information, seminar and institute directors
will send a letter describing the content, logistics, expectations, and
conditions of that project. Each letter will be accompanied by application
instructions as well as information about the program's
costs. Participants receive from the National Endowment for the Humanities
a stipend based on the length of the seminar or institute. Year 2001
stipends are $2,800 for four weeks, $3,250 for five weeks, and $3,700 for
six weeks and are intended to help cover travel costs and living expenses,
as well as books and miscellaneous expenses.
Requests for information and completed applications should NOT be directed
to the National Endowment for the Humanities; they should be addressed to
the individual projects as found in the listings. The application deadline
is March 1.

National Endowment for the Humanities Summer Institute
Literary Study in a Manuscript Culture:
Keats, Dickinson, Eliot
Dear Colleagues:
We would like to call your attention to the Summer Institute for high
school teachers we will be conducting in July of 2001. The Institute
is funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities and is open to
all high school teachers in the United States and those teaching in
American schools abroad. Twenty-five teachers will be chosen. The
stipend is $2800 for the month, and three hours graduate course
credit will be given to each participant.
The Institute will explore the uses of manuscripts, typescripts,
galleys, and various published versions of literary texts to enhance
critical reading and analysis. The Institute will be conducted by
renowned scholars, especially known for their expertise in textual
studies. The participants will study in detail the major odes of
John Keats, the celebrated poems of Emily Dickinson, and the alluring
poetry of T. S. Eliot. Participating teachers will also be
encouraged to apply what they are learning to other writers and works
of special interest to them in their teaching. The Institute will
emphasize interaction between the scholars and the teachers, with
special attention given to the nuances of teaching poetry in the high
schools.
For further information on the Institute, please write:
