Example - Seminar Guided by a literature scholar, fifteen school teachers gather at a private college to read Dante’s Commedia and to use it as a lens for studying the medieval world. Over the five-week period, seminar participants immerse themselves in the poem, and drawing on additional reading of relevant primary works - - such as the Aeneid and Augustine’s Confessions --and secondary materials, take turns leading discussions of specific cantos. Journal entries synthesize the participants’ examination of the Middle Ages and lay the groundwork for presentations at future professional meetings.

Example - Institute An interdisciplinary six-week summer institute explores the environmental imagination and its literary expression in the US. Topics include the Thoreauvian tradition, wild versus domestic visions of nature, the place of “place” in literature, and the past and future of nature writing. The institute is designed to study imaginative literature and the genre’s connections with the natural sciences, and combines presentations by science lecturers, working authors, and humanities scholars. The 25 college and university faculty have backgrounds in American literature, American studies and related fields ranging from environmental studies to art history.
