Andrew Newman Awarded NEH Grant for Virtual Educators Program
The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) recently announced funding for "Making the Good Reader and Citizen: The History of Literature Instruction in American Schools," a proposal submitted by Andrew Newman, Department of English, and Jonna Perrillo, University of Texas El Paso (UTEP). This research project has received funding from NEH in 2021 and 2023.
The institute will examine K-12 educators’ and school reformers’ changing conceptions of what constitutes a “good reader” across the 20th century.
