K-12 Teachers: Join us for the Teaching African American Studies Institute (TAASI) this summer, where you can explore the possibilities the digital humanities bring to your classroom.

TAASI returns this summer from June 16–20, 2026 and held at Prairie View A&M University. Hosted by the National Humanities Center and the @pvamu_ruthsimmonscenter, TAASI ‘26 will focus on how digital humanities can illuminate the complexities of the African Diaspora. Participants will be selected from a competitive application pool. Each will receive lodging accommodations in Prairie View for the week and a stipend for completing the institute. The application deadline is March 30, 2026. Please help us spread the word about this exciting opportunity for educators!
