The American Social History Project at The Graduate Center, City University of New York (CUNY) would like to invite faculty members to apply for a National Endowment for the Humanities Bridging Cultures at Community Colleges Project on Latino history and culture. The 2-year program, Bridging Historias through Latino History and Culture, will include a seminar series with guest scholars, an online reading and discussion program, a mentor program to guide participants through curricular development, and a culminating conference to reflect on participant work and present it to a broader public. Program faculty participants will receive a $2400 stipend, monies toward local travel expenses, and books.

Bridging Historias can accept 36 full-time or part-time community college faculty and administrators. This interdisciplinary program will focus on incorporating Latino history and culture into existing courses or designing new courses that focus on Latino history and culture. We invite applications in the form of teams of 2-3 faculty along with an administrator. The application deadline is Tuesday, April 30, 2013.
