Granted: Liberal arts program, faculty receive new funding

The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) has awarded grants for collaborative programs to the School of Liberal Arts’ New Orleans Center for the Gulf South  and to Michael R. Cohen of the Department of Jewish Studies in the amounts of $160,371 and $143,700, respectively.

Continued support from NEH will allow the New Orleans Center for the Gulf South to present the second iteration of the workshop “New Orleans: Music, Culture, and Civil Rights” next summer. The workshop is a program of the NEH’s Landmarks of American History and Culture Workshops for School Teachers.
