Posted in: News, Opportunities, Special Projects
The 2021 Summer Seminars and Institutes are 1- to 4-week virtual programs that support collegial study of significant topics in the humanities and make use of important scholarship and primary resources such as archival documents, artifacts, or historic sites.
Typically, participants develop a scholarly and/or pedagogical project based on the topic. Programs take place throughout the United States, and participant stipends help cover travel and living expenses.
NEH Summer Seminars and Institutes
- focus on the study and teaching of significant texts and other resources;

This year’s programs include new perspectives on visual culture from the Civil War Era and the global patterns of empire and decolonization through the lens of radio and sound technology.
