Deborah Brothers, Ph.D., professor of English, has been selected to spend a month at Harvard University this summer as part of the National Endowment for the Humanities Summer Scholar Program. NEH Summer Institute participants will be appointed as visiting fellows of the W.E.B. Du Bois Research Institute, providing them with full access to the Harvard libraries and computer facilities, free admission to the museums at Harvard, and all other privileges afforded to visiting scholars and faculty.

Dr. Brothers was selected for a week-long NEH Summer Scholar Program in 2011, on Transcendentalism and Social activism in Concord, Mass. This year’s topic is “What Happened to the Civil Rights Movement?”  and she has proposed a project exploring the intersections of the Civil Rights movement, children’s literature and social activism.

Congratulations!
