CHICAGO:
Newberry Library (fall only)
On the ACM Newberry Library Program, students have access to the
rich collections of books and manuscripts of one of America's foremost
research libraries in the humanities, located on the near north
side of Chicago. Collections concern the civilizations of western
Europe and the Americas from the late Middle Ages to the early 20th
century, including European exploration and settlement of the New
World, the American West, and Native American history and literature.
These collections comprise materials on the Renaissance, the French
Revolution, Portuguese and Brazilian history, and British history
and literature. Students explore together a common theme chosen
for the semester and complete individual research projects under
the guidance of course instructors. The subjects selected by students
are related to a common theme, which over the years has covered
a wide range of issues including "Landscape and Culture," "The Paradox
of Slavery and Freedom in the Western World," and "Unmasking Gender."
Participants work on their projects together with the program directors
and alongside the Library's visiting scholars as well as drawing
on the expertise of the library staff. Students are encouraged to
take advantage of the cultural life in Chicago and to attend exhibits,
theatre, the symphony, conferences, special events and city tours.
Housing is provided in shared apartments. Eligibility: Interest
in pursuing serious research in the humanities
