content: Folders include graduate school papers and lecture notes used for University and Museum Teaching in Subseries 2, particularly the course Selig taught in 1975 with George Washington University Professor Alison S. Brooks for docents at the National Museum of Natural History.  From 1972 through 1975, Selig was a graduate teaching assistant, taking courses and working as a teaching assistant for Introductory Anthropology at GWU. In the summers of 1975 and 1976, Selig worked with fellow graduate student JoAnne Lanouette to teach a new summer course at GWU that became the testing ground for Selig and Lanouette's development of the GWU/SI Anthropology for Teachers Program (see Series 3, subseries 2).  Robert Humphrey's illustration for the summer school course announcement became the basis of the more elaborate brochure and logo illustration for the NSF-funded Anthropology for Teachers Program.
