Well, I know where I'll be going and studying this Summer. I'll be in the Delta! I was accepted to another NEH Teacher Fellowship this time in Mississippi. It is a class entitled, The Most Southern Place on Earth: Music, Culture, and History in the Mississippi Delta. It will infuse local culture with the topics of racism and blues music in the south. I couldn't be more excited, as colleagues of mine (that I've met through my NEH travels) have recommended this one very highly. It is bittersweet though, as I will have to take off the last day of school to start driving down to the Delta.
And if things couldn't get better, I've also been accepted to a class at the University of Richmond in July. This will be a class on the Holocaust and how to talk about the topic with children. It will be a very studious Summer, indeed.
