Goldstein selected for summer study
April 24, 2003
CARROLLTON, GA - Dr. Jonathan Goldstein, professor of history at the University of west Georgia, has been selected from a national applicant pool to attend one of 29 summer study opportunities supported by the National Endowment for the Humanities.
Goldstein will participate in an institute entitled “Representations of the ‘Other’: Jews in Medieval Christendon.” The five-week program will be held at Oxford University’s Centre for Hebew and Jewish Studies in England, and directed by Professor Irven M. Resnick.
The National Endowment for the Humanities is a federal agency that supports seminars and institutes at colleges and universities each summer so that teachers can work in collaboration and study with experts in humanities disciplines.
Topics for the 29 seminars and institutes offered this summer include Civil Rights Movement, British Romantic fiction, the English Reformation, and major figures such as Ralph Waldo Emerson. The approximately 500 teachers who participate in these studies will teach over 30,000 American students the following year.
