Call for Proposals for “Re-Visiting the Lower East Side:
A NYMASA Summer Institute”
The New York Metro American Studies Association (NYMASA) invites proposals for participants in a summer institute from June 14th to June 18th, on the theme “Re-visiting the Lower East Side.” This weeklong series for educators will allow participants to visit and re-visit New York’s Lower East Side (LES). It will focus on the history of the LES as a site of immigration, urban development, architecture, commerce, and art as well as a site of fantasy and cultural tourism.

About NYMASA
NYMASA was revived in 1996. With over 400 members, NYMASA is dedicated to fostering a sense of community among American Studies scholars, inside and outside of the academy, from all disciplines, who live or work in the New York Area. NYMASA sponsors at least one general event each semester, and produces a newsletter, The Metro, which lists upcoming American Studies opportunities within the region. We also sponsor reading groups, writing groups, and field trips -- that is, visits to performances or exhibits, with a talk and/or discussion afterward.
