The City University of New York Graduate Center's American Social History Project will host an NEH institute in Summer 2021 to study the visual culture of the American Civil War and its aftermath. It will focus on the era’s visual media to examine how information and opinion about the war were recorded and disseminated, and how visual media expressed and shaped views before and after the conflict. Due to restrictions regarding face-to-face meetings, this will be a remote institute in which participants will view lectures by and interact with noted historians, art historians, and archivists as well as participate in sessions with curators and staff in museums and archives. Three core faculty representing the field will introduce new scholarship that addresses or incorporates wartime and postwar visual culture, prompt further research, and help participants use visual evidence in scholarship and teaching. The 2021 institute faculty: Jermaine Archer, Amanda Bellows, Louise Bernard, Joshua Brown, Sarah Burns, Gregory Downs, Matthew Fox-Amato, Amanda Frisken, Lauren Hewes, Dominique Jean-Louis, Barbara Krauthamer, Allison Lange, Turkiya Lowe, Maurie McInnis, Susan Schulten, Scott Manning Stevens, and Dell Upton. The deadline for applications is March 1, 2021. Information about applying as well as the program of activities is available at: https://ashp.cuny.edu/nehinstitute.
