National Endowment for the Humanities Summer Institute Award

Barbara Mann, Stephen H. Hoffman Professor of Modern Hebrew, was awarded a $175,000 grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities to direct a Summer Institute in June 2025. “Between Memory and the Archive: Jewish Print Culture” will feature lectures from international scholars, archival research and letterpress printing. The two-week intensive program will take place in New York City and at the Cary Graphic Arts Collection at the Rochester Institute of Technology. Twenty-five participants will work collaboratively with unique artifacts and learn how to print on a variety of historical presses. A website and application portal will be available in December.  Congratulations Professor Mann!
