Subject: [HonorsAlumNetwork] NEH Summer Seminar]

Dear Colleagues,=20
I'm thrilled to be able to report that the National Endowment for the =
Humanities has again selected me to be among the seminar directors in =
the 2004 NEH program of Summer Seminars for School Teachers.=20

The interdisciplinary seminar will be in English and will be on Balzac =
and Zola: Esthetics and Ethics in the Novel. We'll focus=20
on close reading of The Wild Ass's Skin and Germinal as well as of =
some of Balzac's and Zola's other texts, will make trips to two museums, =
and will also be discussing narrative techniques and character depiction =
in related film, literature, and art. No prior experience with or =
exposure to Balzac and Zola is required to be awarded one of the 15 =
seats in the seminar.=20

What is required is demonstrated excellence by K-12 educators who, =
regardless of their primary disciplines, have a love for=20
literature, a longing to read and discuss novels by two of the world's =
great novelists--even, I repeat, if it's their first exposure to =
them--and=20
a strong desire to become immersed once again in the intellectual and =
social environment of university living (along with the patience and=20
flexibility that such living often requires!).=20

If you know K-12 teachers, librarians, counselors, or administrators =
who might be interested, in spending a month of intellectual inquiry in =
this seminar held just down the road from Cape Cod, an hour from Boston, =
and close to easy ferry rides to Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket, then I =
hope you will (encourage them to) consider contacting me and applying to =
participate in the seminar.=20

Complete details are available from my web site at:=20

http://home.earthlink.net/~blueheeler19/neh/seminarhomepage.html=20

Of course, there are many other seminars for our colleagues to =
consider as well, and a general listing of all of them is available at =
the NEH web site:=20

http://www.neh.gov/news/archive/20030819.html=20

In all cases, I encourage prospective applicants to contact the =
directors of the seminars which interest them before making final =
decisions about applying.=20

Thanks very much for your consideration.=20
