These one-week workshops explore early America through the Philadelphia experience.
Workshop highlights include:
- Lectures by leading scholars on topics ranging from Native American history through the early national period.
- Behind-the-scenes tours of Philadelphia's most prominent historic institutions including the National Constitution Center, Independence Hall, and the Liberty Bell.
- Research in primary source collections at the Library Company of Philadelphia, the Historical Society of Pennsylvania and the American Philosophical Society.
While in town, program participants are welcomed into Philadelphia’s vibrant scholarly community. All will receive a subscription to the Journal of the Early Republic, the journal of record for early national history, and are invited to attend a McNeil Center for Early American Studies Summer Seminar and dinner.
Full-time, part-time and adjunct faculty may apply. Participants receive a $500 stipend for food and lodging plus a travel subsidy.
