NEH Summer Institute: Space, Place, and the Humanities, Northeastern University

Dave DeCamp Discussion

“Space, Place, and the Humanities” is a three-week summer institute hosted by the Humanities Center at Northeastern University in Boston (July 24-August 11, 2017) on the newly emerging, interdisciplinary field of Geohumanities. At the intersection of geography, history, literature, creative arts, and social justice, Geohumanities focuses on the role of space and place in a range of humanities disciplines and the arts.

The aim of this Institute is to help college faculty integrate spatial thinking into their research and teaching in new ways. Prominent scholars from cultural geography, literary studies and the digital humanities will lead the Institute, foregrounding the study of space and place as an interdisciplinary endeavor.

None of the pages at the Northeastern site related to this institute are accessible. Has anyone successfully contacted the organizers or submitted an application?

Dear Mark,

I am the graduate assistant and web developer for the summer Institute. This is an issue we have come across before, based on how the site was set up. Make sure you are using "http://" instead of "https://" when you type the URL. The site "https://..." does not exist and cannot be redirected to the actual site: http://www.northeastern.edu/spaceandplaceneh/

Some browsers have a preference option that forces your browser to go to "https://" sites, even if you type "http://" so check your browser preferences if you are still having trouble accessing the site. Also, if you have any other questions for the Summer Institute, please feel free to email: spaceandplaceneh@northeastern.edu

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Dave
