Suggestions
for public humanities projects: I would be particularly interested
in doing programs that combine my main scholarly interests: American
Culture and the Holocaust. To that end, I can envision projects
in which texts that are often taught in American schools (Diary
of Anne Frank, Elie Wiesel's Night) would be the focus of either
community discussion or in-service training for teachers.
I would
also like to help a community organize a film series on the Holocaust. |
