Call for applications for Teaching Ancient in a Digital Age, an NEH funded institute for higher education faculty (May–October 2026; https://wp.wwu.edu/tada/)
The Teaching Ancient in a Digital Age institute aims to expand data and digital literacy among educators in the fields of ancient Mediterranean studies by training higher education faculty and advanced graduate students on the digital methods and resources available for the study and analysis of ancient texts and material evidence. Over a series of virtual (May and September/October 2026) and in-person workshops (August 2026, held at Western Washington University in Bellingham, WA), participants will work with expert faculty to familiarize themselves with emerging technologies and the ethics and considerations surrounding their use. Participants will also contribute to the preparation of open access lesson plans and teaching resources through the workshop.
