Associate Professor of Russian Franklin Sciacca has been accepted into a National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Institute for this summer. He will participate in the three-week program "Sources for Russian and Soviet Visual Cultures, 1860-1935: Study, Teaching, and Education" at The New York Public Library (NYPL).
NEH Institutes provide intensive collaborative study of texts, topics, and ideas central to undergraduate teaching in the humanities under the guidance of faculties distinguished in their fields of scholarship. Institutes aim to prepare participants to return to their classrooms with a deeper knowledge of current scholarship in key fields of the humanities.
The principal goal of this Summer Institute is bringing together scholars, library curators, museum professionals and educators for an intensive workshop discussing the theoretical and practical issues connected with visual documentation. The Institute will include organized visits to other cultural institutions such as the Guggenheim, MoMA, Zimmerli museums. Only 25 faculty members were accepted for the session.
With more than 500,000 volumes in its Slavic and Baltic division, the NYPL holds one of North America's greatest collections of Slavic and East European materials. The curriculum, daily presentations, and collegial discussions will be based on NYPL's resources, made available in print and digital formats.
