A three-week institute for 25 college and university faculty on geography and the humanities.

The Humanities Center at Northeastern University in Boston requests funds to host a three-week Summer Institute on the theme “Engaging Geography in the Humanities” in the summer of 2020. The three-week summer institute, to be held from July 6 through July 24, 2020, will explore the possibilities and productive tensions at the intersection of geography and the humanities. Through engagement with readings, lectures, discussions, workshops, and field visits, the Institute will introduce university and college faculty from the humanities and related disciplines to concepts and methods from geography, as participants and faculty collectively think through how these approaches can enhance their own research and teaching.
