The Columbia University Institute for Research in African-American Studies (IRAAS) is now accepting applications for its 2017 Summer Teachers and Scholars Institute (STSI). Convening for one week between Sunday July 9  and Friday July 14, 2017.

 

July 2017 marks the 100th anniversary of Harlem’s historic “Silent Parade,” when over 10,000 Black New Yorkers marched in protest of anti-black lynching and other forms of violence. In commemoration of that event and the larger movement it represented, and in recognition of the historical trajectory from it to the current moment and movement for Black Lives, the theme for the 2017 Summer Teachers and Scholars Institute (STSI) will be “Black Activist New York." We encourage you to apply! 

 

This Summer Institute offers what few others are able: 

• The opportunity to study how New York has been and continues to be a center of people of color, feminist and queer political organization, African-American public health activism, and policing reform.
• Attend seminars facilitated by today’s leading scholars in African-American Studies and Activism
• Visit and tour historical landmarks and institutions around the city
• Receive instruction in the latest research methods and,
• Enjoy cultural excursions throughout NYC.

The fee for the STSI is $1,800 and a limited number of partial fellowships are available.
