K-12 educators, are you looking to enhance your pedagogical skills and enrich your humanities curriculum with a deep dive into the complexities of the African diaspora?

The Teaching African American Studies Summer Institute (TAASI) returns to Prairie View A&M University from June 16–20, 2026, and will explore how digital humanities (DH) tools can expand possibilities in the classroom. Participants will work with scholars to understand how these tools reveal hidden histories of resistance, self-determination, and artistic contribution across vast geographies and time periods. Educators will be selected from a competitive application pool. Each will receive a stipend for the successful completion of the institute, as well as lodging in Prairie View for the week. Applications are due March 30, 2026. See the link in our bio for more information.
