Landmarks of American History and Culture: Workshops for Community College Faculty: As part of its We the People initiative, which emphasizes the exploration of significant events and themes in American history and culture, NEH seeks proposals for a series of one-week residence-based workshops at historic sites for community college educators teaching the introductory college course in American history, government, literature, art history, or other related subjects in the humanities. The goals of the workshops are to: * provide experience for community college faculty in the use and interpretation of historic sites and the material resources and archival documents of American history and culture; * increase knowledge and appreciation of places significant to American history and culture; and * encourage historical sites to develop greater capacity and scale for professional development programs. Workshops should take place at or near sites important to American history and culture (e.g., presidential residences or libraries, Colonial-era settlements, major battlefields, historic districts, or sites associated with major writers or artists). Applicants should make a compelling case for the site's significance to issues central to introductory-level American history courses, the material resources available for use, and the ways the site will enhance the workshop.
