Call for Applicants: Cotton Culture in the U.S. South
Teachers and education graduate students in social studies and the humanities can apply to attend a five-week teacher institute in Macon. The application deadline is March 1, 2012.
This institute is open to twenty-five attendees. Participants will hear from an interdisciplinary panel of experts on southern history and culture.
