NEH Summer Seminars and Institutes

Designed for K-12 educators or higher education faculty, Seminars and Institutes give participants the opportunity to explore humanities-relevant topics during one- to four-week programs. Their diverse focus of study ranges from Material Maps in the Digital Age, to the Lewis and Clark Trail and Understanding Middle Eastern Millennials.

Landmarks of American History and Culture Workshops

Place-based one-week workshops take K-12 educators to historic sites to explore central themes in American history and government, literature, art, music, and related humanities topics. New Orleans: Music, Culture and Civil Rights, the Battle of the Little Bighorn and the legacy of African Americans in New England are examples of what is studied.
