Seminar Description
Application Process: OverviewIf you are interested in applying to this seminar, please check the eligibility criteria and note the application process. Perhaps the most important part of the application is the essay that must be submitted as part of the complete application. This essay should include any personal and academic information that is relevant; reasons for applying to the particular project; your interest, both intellectual and personal, in the topic; qualifications to do the work of the project and make a contribution to it; what you hope to accomplish by participation, including any individual research and writing projects; and the relation of the study to your teaching. When my selection committee and I evaluate applications to the seminar, we will be interested particularly in applicants' statements about why they applied for this particular seminar, and what they hope to achieve, professionally or personally, by participating in it. You should also consider whom to invite to serve as references for your application and be sure to send them your completed essay well in advance of the deadline for their letters to reach me—within one week of the application deadline. Please remember that applications must be postmarked by March 2, 2009 and addressed as follows: Professor Kathleen B. Jones The appliation cover sheet must be filled out online at this address: http://www.neh.gov/online/education/participants/ Please fill it out online as directed by the prompts. When you are finished, be sure to click on the "submit" button. Print out the cover sheet and add it to your application package. If you have any questions, please feel free to email my assistant, Simone Arias (sarias2@earthlink.net ). We will do our best to provide the information you need. I look forward to receiving many high quality applications and to working with an outstanding group of professionals who will learn a great deal from one another during our time together.
