Social studies teachers nationwide are invited to apply for the July 2018 Religious Worlds of New York summer institute – a three week program, with a generous stipend, that will help them teach about American religious diversity. The institute is sponsored by the Interfaith Center of New York and Union Theological Seminary (UTS), with support from the National Endowment for the Humanities. It will bring 25 teachers from throughout the U.S. to New York City, to work with leading scholars of religion, meet with diverse religious leaders, visit local houses of worship, and explore the religious life of the city.
The institute will meet from July 9 - 27, 2018, on the UTS campus in the Manhattan neighborhood of Morningside Heights. All NEH summer scholars will receive a $2,700 stipend to help pay travel, housing, and living expenses for the duration of the institute. Applications are due by March 1, 2018.
