Ennis
post-doctoral fellow selected for NEH summer study opportunity
Timothy Horner, an Arthur J. Ennis post-doctoral teaching
fellow, has been selected from a national applicant pool to attend one
of 20 summer study opportunities supported by the National Endowment for
the Humanities. The endowment is a federal agency, which each summer supports
seminars and institutes at colleges and universities so that teachers
can work in collaboration and study with experts in humanities disciplines.
Horner will participate, along with 25 other teachers, in an institute
titled “Representation of the ‘Other’: Jews in Medieval
Christendom.” This five-week institute will take place at the Centre
for Hebrew and Jewish Studies at the University of Oxford, England. Participants
receive a $3250 stipend to help defray their travel, study and living
expenses.
Other summer study opportunities will pursue topics, including the civil
rights movement, British romantic fiction, the English Reformation, and
major figures such as Ralph Waldo Emerson.
It is estimated that the approximately 500 teachers participating in the
HEG summer study programs will teach more than 30 thousand students the
following year.
