Brief Description:

As a part of its current initiative, Standing Together: The Humanities and the Experience of War , the National Endowment for the Humanities offers the Dialogues on the Experience of War program. The program supports the study and discussion of important humanities sources about war, in the belief that these sources can help U.S. military veterans and others to think more deeply about the issues raised by war and military service. The humanities sources can be drawn from history, philosophy, literature, and film—and they may and should be supplemented by testimonials from those who have served. The discussions are intended to promote serious exploration of important questions about the nature of duty, heroism, suffering, loyalty, and patriotism.

Please note, at this time the NEH website still displays application details for this opportunity from 2016. It is expected that the NEH will refresh their website in the coming weeks.
