A summer institute for 25 high school teachers on the wartime experiences of American servicemembers.

The Choices Program at Brown University is seeking a grant from the NEH in the amount of $135,000 to offer for the first time a one-week Level II Institute for 25 grade 9-12 secondary school educators called “American Soldiers in American Wars: History and Memory.” The proposed institute will be held July 12-16, 2021, and will “...promote discussion and deepened understanding of the experiences of those Americans affiliated with the armed services, whether active duty or veterans...”—a goal of the NEH initiative “Standing Together: The Humanities and the Experience of War.”
