The National Endowment for the Humanities awarded a $171,342 project grant to the National WWI Museum and Memorial through the Promotion of the Humanities Professional Development federal grant program (CFDA 45.163). The grant funds a two-week summer institute from July 10-22, 2022 for 28 K-12 educators. The institute, hosted at the Museum and Memorial in Kansas City, Missouri, will focus on the enduring impact of World War I on the Middle East beyond the traditional Western emphasis. Topics will include the war's impact on Ottoman soldiers, Middle Eastern home fronts, women's issues, disease and public health, and the development of nationalist narratives in Turkey, Arab lands, and among Ottoman minority groups. The grant aims to promote better teaching and research in the humanities for educators through this interdisciplinary professional development opportunity.
