This $199,950 Project Grant award from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Promotion of the Humanities Professional Development program (CFDA 45.163) will support Full Spectrum Features NFP, a Chicago-based non-profit organization, to host a three-week institute for educators on the history of Japanese American resettlement after World War II. The institute will take place both virtually and in-person in Chicago, the largest non-West Coast resettlement site for Japanese Americans. Participants will engage with leading scholars, visit archives, tour historic neighborhoods, and conduct oral history interviews to deepen their knowledge and create customized teaching units that integrate the national resettlement history with local community connections. This project aims to promote better teaching and research in the humanities by equipping educators with enhanced understanding of this important historical topic.
