Exciting Opportunity!
Teaching Connected Histories of the Mediterranean
An NEH Summer Institute for Teachers
When: July 6-24, 2015
Where: University of Denver, Denver, CO
Stipend: $2,700
***Applications due: March 2, 2015***
Applicants notified: March 30, 2015
Directors: Andrea L Stanton (University of Denver) & Peter Mandaville (George Mason University)
Teaching Connected Histories of the Mediterranean is a Summer Institute for Teachers sponsored by the National Endowment for the Humanities. It represents a partnership between George Mason University and the University of Denver, offering secondary school teachers of courses such as world history, world geography, world religions, and global studies the opportunity to focus on the Mediterranean region from a world historical perspective. Under the guidance of leading scholars currently active in this field, participants will explore ways to incorporate this dynamic region into their existing courses.
Building on the strengths of two leading universities in Middle East and Islamic Studies, this three-week summer program connects teachers with the recent scholarship on this region and allows them to access new curriculum materials developed under the direction of several prominent scholars, including some of the institute's faculty, for the K-12 classroom.
Successful applicants receive a $2,700 stipend to cover travel, room, and board.
Continuing education credits may be available – check with your school district.
