ATTENTION HUMANITIES SCHOLARS:

The New York Council for the Humanities is looking for YOU to take part in its popular speakers' bureau. 

Since 1983, the "Speakers in the Humanities" program has been bringing scholars face-to-face with community groups across New York State. Speakers must live or work in New York State. They are expected to deliver as many as five presentations a year (all on the same topic). They receive an honorarium of $250 per lecture, plus reasonable travel expenses.

We are now developing a new roster of lectures for the three-year term beginning in 2000.  We seek engaging presentations in nine broad areas: "Gotham" (the history of NYC); "The Empire State" (the history of the state); "The Peoples of New York"; "Interpreting the Arts"; "Music and the Humanities"; "The Moving Image"; "Morals, Meaning, and Faith"; "Shaping a Democracy"; and "Great Books."  Applications are competitive.  The deadline is JUNE 14, 1999.

SHARE THIS MESSAGE WITH YOUR COLLEAGUES!

Thanks,
