Introduction

First, an apology: The name NEH Workshop Info. is a misnomer. This name was selected because our first emphasis was to make this web log a site for information regarding NEH (National Endowment for the Humanities) workshops, and of course that emphasis remains.

However, it is also important that anyone who has an interest in education at any level (teachers and support staff and parents) feel free to view the material in this log, and also contribute ideas for the benefit of anybody else who checks it out.

Also, please excuse the possible confusion of the dates that are indicated for each posting. You may see a date way into the future, because that is the only way I know to keep the postings in a specific order.

Please scroll through this web log to get a feel for what it is all about. Also, check back on occasion because I will be changing it as often as I can.

This just in! - The amount of the stipend for attendance at National Endowment for the Humanities Landmarks of American History and Culture workshops has been increased to $1200 for the summer of 2010. That may or may not be an inducement to get you to apply for one, but it may remove a financial barrier to travelling and being away from home for a week this summer. It has possibly been changed because the sponsoring organizations that put on the workshops with NEH assistance are tired of the hassle of figuring out travel and lodging expenses. This means that a person living 15 minutes away from a workshop will get the same amount of cash as someone who lives 1,500 miles away. That may seem unfair, but it's still a great experience and, when you consider a significant amount of your expenses are really taken care of in the stipend, it might be the educational event of a lifetime.
