This online intensive summer institute introduces higher education faculty, including PhD candidates, to Himalayan art and cultural traditions that connect with East, South, and Inner Asian cultures and humanities fields of study.
Rubin Museum of Himalayan Art staff and invited lead scholars will present and facilitate study-discussions focused on specific themes using cross-disciplinary approaches and employing the Rubin’s Project Himalayan Art digital platform and assigned materials. Guided smaller group sessions will be followed by collaborative drafting of sample syllabi and/or student engagement units. Rubin staff and guest contributors and participants will also tackle topics of cultural sensitivity with respect to sacred images and cultural appropriation in the present day.
The institute will be fully virtual to maximize the advantages of the Project Himalayan Art digital platform and to offer more inclusive participation. The workshop-style training takes place over the course of six days and is supported by the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH).
Applications open December 13, 2024, and the deadline to apply is March 5, 2025, by 11:59 PM (Pacific Time).
