Application Information and Instructions
Introduction
Landmarks in American History and Culture Workshops are offered by the National Endowment for the Humanities to provide community college faculty with the opportunity to engage in intensive study and discussion of important topics and issues in American history and culture, while providing them with direct experiences in the interpretation of significant historical sites and the use of archival and other primary historical evidence. Prior to completing an application, please review the letter from the project director and consider carefully what is expected in terms of residence and attendance, reading and writing requirements, and participation in the work of the project.
Landmarks workshops accommodate 25 teachers per session to collaborate with core faculty and visiting scholars. The workshops are designed to present the best available scholarship on a specific landmark or related cluster of landmarks, while enabling participants to gain a sense of the importance of historical places, to make connections between the workshop content and what they teach, and to develop materials for their classrooms and, if applicable, for their research interests. Community college faculty may apply to and participate in no more than two separate Landmarks workshops per year.
