The deadline for applications is coming up on March 4th — act now if you want to enrich your teaching on religious diversity!
K-12 teachers at public, private, and faith-based schools are invited to apply for a three week summer institute, Religious Worlds of New York: Teaching the Everyday Life of American Religious Diversity. The institute is a project of the Interfaith Center of New York and Union Theological Seminary, with support from the National Endowment for the Humanities. It will bring twenty-five teachers from throughout the United States to New York City in July 2014, to work with leading scholars of religion, meet with diverse religious leaders, visit local houses of worship, and conduct original field research. We hope you will apply! Past participants describe the institute as “my best professional development experience ever” and “one of the best learning experiences of my life.” All participants receive a $2,700 stipend, to help pay travel and living expenses for the duration of the institute. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to explore the religious worlds of New York. For more information and application materials, please see www.religiousworldsnyc.org.
