Summer Programs – “Representations of the ‘Other’: Jews in Medieval England.”

The National Endowment for the Humanities will support a summer institute for university and college faculty and full-time advanced graduate students entitled “Representations of the ‘Other’: Jews in Medieval England.” The five-week program, directed by Professor Irven M. Resnick, will enable twenty-five participants to meet from 13 July through 16 August 2014 at the Oxford Centre for Hebrew and Jewish Studies (England), to study perceptions of English Jews from the standpoint of medieval Christian theology, canon law, and literature. Participants will receive a stipend of $3900 to help defray their expenses. Applications will be accepted until 3 March 2014. For additional information and application instructions, prospective participants may consult the program web site at www.utc.edu/neh.
