SUMMER SEMINAR ON PUNISHMENT, POLITICS, AND CULTURE:

Amherst College will host a National Endowment for the Humanities Summer Seminar for K-12 teachers and 
current full time graduate students who intend to pursue a career in K-12 teaching, from June 27-July 29, 
2011. The seminar will be directed by Austin Sarat of the Departments of Political Science and Law, 
Jurisprudence and Social Thought. It will examine three questions: What is punishment and why do we 
punish as we do? What can we learn about politics, law, and culture in the United States from an 
examination of our practices of punishment? What are the appropriate limits of punishment? The 
application deadline is March 1, 2011. Information is available at http://www.amherst.edu/go/neh. If you 
have any questions regarding the seminar or the application process, contact Megan Estes at (413) 542-
2380 or email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
