Notre Dame hosts two NEH summer seminars
The University of Notre Dame is hosting two National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) summer seminars in which college and university professors with related interests are able to conduct scholarly research under the direction of an expert.
A five-week seminar titled "Anglo-Irish Identities, 1600-1800," is underway through July 6 (Friday) in the Keough-Naughton Institute for Irish Studies, and "The Middle East Between Rome and Persia: Early Christianity on the Path to Islam," a six- week seminar, is continuing through July 27 (Friday).
"The NEH seminars are a wonderful service to college teachers, who will in turn have tremendous impact on large numbers of students," said Mark Roche, Notre Dame's I.A. O'Shaughnessy Dean of the College of Arts and Letters. "At the same time, they represent attractive opportunities for our most renowned faculty to think out loud with scholars who have similar interests, and they add luster to our standing as a research university."
