Each summer the National Endowment for the Humanities supports study opportunities in the humanities for faculty who teach American undergraduates. Seminars and institutes are national, residential, and rigorous. Program participants in these 3-6 week projects receive stipends to help defray travel and living expenses. Foreign nationals teaching abroad are not eligible to participate.
For a list of seminars and institutes to be offered in the summer of 2008, along with eligibility requirements and contact information for the directors, go to:
The seventeen seminars and institutes for summer 2008 will address the following topics:
• Narrative Theory
