Part Two: Men, Women, and
Relationships |
|
On January 23,
2007, we completed an application to extend our NEH grant for an additional two years. This second part of the New Cinema and Literature of Age is entitled Men, Women, and Relationships, and will consist of two, closely related one year programs to run in the spring of 2008 and 2009. We have already selected partners for the first of these two programs, Men, Women, and the New Old Age, but should we win this new grant, we will be looking for some additional partners in the fall of 2007. For a list of our
current partners in this new project, click on
Part Two Partners. For a syllabus and course description, click on
Syllabi and Course Descriptions.
Then in 2008-2009, we will be seeking new partners to join us for our second program, Love and Relationships in the New Old Age. Click on
Syllabi for a syllabus and course description.
If we fail to win this extension to our NEH grant, we will be seeking other
funding sources for these fine and extremely popular programs so stay
posted. |
