Dear
CIC Chief Academic Officer: (cc: President) In response to the enormous interest demonstrated in his previous seminars, CIC is delighted to announce that David W. Blight, Class of 1954 Professor of American History at Yale University, author of A Slave No More: Two Men Who Escaped to Freedom, Including their Narratives of Emancipation and the recently published American Oracle, The Civil War in the Civil Rights Era, has enthusiastically agreed to lead the seminar on Slave Narratives for a fifth year in a row. The seminar will be held at Yale University on June 10–13, 2012. This multidisciplinary seminar is open to full-time faculty members in history, English, and related fields at CIC member colleges and universities. This seminar is cosponsored by the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History. For the faculty members who are selected to participate in the seminar, there will be no expense for room, board, books, or the seminar program itself. The only expense to participants or their institutions will be transportation to and from New Haven, Connecticut, although CIC will offer reimbursements of up to $200 toward travel expenses. This seminar offers a superb opportunity for members of CIC faculties to strengthen their teaching and to recharge their intellectual batteries. CIC is especially grateful to the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation for a generous grant to CIC that has made this seminar opportunity possible. Please note that the selection process is based on nominations by chief academic officers, not direct application by faculty members. Would you please forward this email to the faculty members of your history and English departments and to other members of the faculty who may be interested, and subsequently submit one or more nominations? The deadline for completed nominations is March 2, 2012. Further information, including guidelines and the nomination form, are available on CIC’s website at www.cic.edu/americanhistory. Questions should be directed to Stephen Gibson, CIC’s director of programs, at (202) 466-7230 or sgibson@cic.nche.edu. Sincerely yours, Richard Ekman President Council of Independent Colleges One Dupont Circle, NW Suite 320 Washington, DC 20036 202-466-7230 Fax 202-466-7238 |
