A Summer Institute Sponsored by The National Endowment for the Humanities, Columbia University, New York, NY—June 13 – July 1, 2011 (3 weeks)

Building upon a successful NEH Institute of 2009 which dealt with Russian-American cultural contacts, the 2011 institute examines the evolution of America's "academic" engagement with Eurasia (defined here as including Eastern and Southeastern Europe, Russia/the Soviet Union, Central Asia, and the Caucasus) from the 19th century down to the present. The historic personalities, institutions, organizations, and research resources that collectively constituted the foundation of Eurasian studies in America will be considered within the broad framework of the geopolitical relations of America and Eurasia over more than 150 years.

The Institute's Principal Investigator Timothy Frye, and Co-Directors Edward Kasinec and Robert Davis hope also to suggest a more broadly applicable paradigm of area studies development in the United States (for Middle Eastern, East Asian, African, Latin American studies, etc.), suggesting avenues of comparative research.

Twenty-five undergraduate faculty, research librarians, curators, and museum educators will participate in sessions led by distinguished educators and professionals. This year, up to three graduate students may be selected to participate as well. Participants will have a hands-on opportunity to work with the unparalleled material and academic resources of Columbia University and the city of New York.

For a summary description and online application information, visit: http://NEHsummerinst.Columbia.edu or contact Robert Davis (212 854-47101) or Edward Kasinec (516 712-8305).

LINGUISTICS INSTITUTE FOR LANGUAGE TEACHERS, The Ohio State U., Columbus, Ohio — June 20-24, 2011

LILT is a weeklong summer program designed specifically for language teachers. The goal is to provide language teachers with greater linguistic awareness and understanding, with the ability to think critically about language, and with a deeper appreciation for all aspects of language and language study. The program is not a general introduction to language, nor is it an introduction to linguistics, nor is it about second language pedagogy. Rather, the philosophy behind the program is that language teachers and learners can be well served by knowledge that offers them insight into the structure and use of their own language, so that they will be able to see more clearly how the language that they are teaching or learning differs from it and be able to profit from this understanding. In short, the objective is to provide the teacher/learner with what s/he needs to know about language in general in order to study a particular language more effectively.
