This is an announcement to let you all know that the Humanities Research Center will be sponsoring three undergraduate research interns to work on the Dowling Archive project–two this summer, and one this fall. If this is something that interests you, I’d encourage you to apply. Please be aware that these internships are unfortunately limited to three, so it’s possible that not everyone who applies will be accepted. See the information at the Humanities Research Center for more information, and please note that the deadline for applications is March 9.

Saturday, January 15th, 2011This blog will be used by students in HIST 300, an independent study being conducted by Dr. Caleb McDaniel in Spring 2011. The main purpose of this course will be to introduce students to recent scholarly work on the topic of “Civil War Memory” and also to discuss how the Civil War is and should be commemorated today upon its sesquicentennial. Students in HIST 300 will also work in conjunction with students in HIST 246 to build a digital archive and exhibit about the changing and contested memory of Lt. Richard W. “Dick” Dowling, a locally famous Civil War figure in Houston.
Please email Dr. McDaniel with any questions.
