The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) awarded a $172,935 Project Grant under the Promotion of the Humanities Professional Development program (CFDA 45.163) to The University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) and its collaborators, the Center for Interamerican and Border Studies (CIBS) and the Institute of Oral History (IOH). The grant will fund a 2-week residential summer institute from July 20 - August 3, 2025 for 25 secondary school teachers of art, language arts, sciences, social studies/history, and world languages. The institute will provide guided exploration of borderlands narratives from the Chihuahuan Desert region, building on the successful participation of summer scholars in prior in-person and virtual institutes in 2017, 2019, and 2021. The funding will support this interdisciplinary, place-based professional development opportunity focused on enhancing humanities education.
