          **1993 Summer Seminars for College Teachers**

The National Endowment for the Humanities is pleased to announce
that forty-seven seminars for college teachers and independent
scholars will be offered during the summer of 1993.  Each year,
the Summer Seminars for College Teachers program provides
teachers at undergraduate institutions (and other scholars
without the resources of a graduate department) with a unique
opportunity for advanced study or research in their fields or in
fields related to their interests.  In 1993, places will be
offered to 564 participants at institutions across the United
States plus two in Paris, one in Rome, and one in Ireland.

During the summer, participants will work together in an area of
mutual interest under the direction of a distinguished scholar.
They will have access to the collections of a major library,
will discuss a body of common readings with their colleagues in
the seminar, and, outside the seminar, will pursue individual
research or study projects of their own choosing and design.
Seminar topics are broad enough to encompass a wide range of
interests while remaining central to the major ideas, texts,
critical concerns, and approaches of the humanities.  This
year's seminars are six, seven, or eight weeks long.
Participants receive a stipend to help cover travel to and from
the seminar location, books, and research and living expenses;
the stipend is $4,000 for participation in an eight-week
seminar, $3,600 for a seven-week seminar, and $3,200 for a
six-week seminar.

Application instructions and forms, as well as detailed
information about the subject matter and requirements of
individual seminars, are available directly from the seminar
directors at the addresses indicated on the following pages.
The application deadline is March 1, 1993, and the announcement
of awards will take place on March 29, 1993.  General
information about the Summer Seminars for College Teachers is
available from the Division of Fellowships and Seminars,
Room 316, National Endowment for the Humanities,
