The last decade of politics in America has shown us the importance of an informed and

accompanied it, and how we can use these in the classroom.

Registration is now open for the CANE Summer Institute!
For CSI's 40th anniversary, this year's program is organized around the theme of
"Classical antiquity": a global phenomenon in local contexts. Faculty hailing
from public and private educational institutions from all six New England states and
beyond, representing disciplines across the humanities, will lead institute participants
in a week of mini-courses, professional development workshops, and Greek and Latin reading
groups, and deliver research talks as part of the week's free public lecture series.
For more information on this year's program, which takes us to ancient and modern
Egypt, England, Gandhara, Germany, North Africa, Numidia, Ireland, Italy, Syria, the
Ukraine-Russia War, and the United States, please visit
caneweb.org/csi.
CANE is launching a tuition grant program for first-generation undergraduate students
(Class of 2013 to current), early-career educators (in the first 10 years, at any level),
and graduate students and contingent faculty who do not have access to internal funding.
Members of any of these groups may request a tuition grant for the in-person or online
program. Tuition grants will be made on a rolling basis until all these funds have been
disbursed.
