APPALACHIA: A History of Mountains and People
We invite you to join our two week institute as we explore the landscape and culture of the Southern Appalachians. Using an environmental history approach, we will examine the role of the Appalachian mountains in shaping human societies and in turn the impact of people in shaping the mountains. By exploring the particular story of place and people in Appalachia, we see how environmental history presents new questions to interrogate past events, encourages an interdisciplinary approach to the study of place, and presents an excellent opportunity for team teaching in the classroom.
Please note the deadline is March 1, 2018 and the application cover sheet must be completed online: https://securegrants.neh.gov/education/participants
Please email any questions to: powerofplace@appalachiafilm.org.
