Transcending Boundaries: The Ottoman Empire, Europe and the Mediterranean World, 1500-1800, a National Endowment for the Humanities Summer Seminar for College and University Teachers, will take place in Washington, D.C., June 20 – July 15, 2016.

The four-week seminar offers an opportunity to college and university professors (and two advanced graduate students) to integrate stimulating approaches toward Ottoman, Mediterranean and European history. Seminar participants who have broad research and teaching interests in comparative history will develop skills and knowledge that will enable them to integrate the Ottoman Empire into their projects and courses. Outcomes can include an extended analysis of a particular topic geared toward a scholarly or general audience, a bibliographical essay on relevant and new sources, a new or revised syllabus, or any research project that draws from the methods and perspectives of comparative world history. Participants will have sufficient time to work on independent projects using rich archives and library collections in Washington DC (including the Library of Congress, the National Archives, and Georgetown University Library).

Application deadline: March 1, 2016.
