Only One NEH Summer for Seminar College Teachers Related to Philosophy Funded for 2011

It's a seminar by Gilbert Harman (Princeton) and Ernest LePore (Rutgers) on Quine and Davidson.  The full list of awards is here.

ADDENDUM:  I've edited the title, since it turns out (as some readers pointed out) that there are two additional seminars for high school teachers related to philosophy that were funded:  Mitch Green (Virginia) will teach one on "Mind, Meaning, and Morality" and Thomas Wartenburg (Mt. Holyoke) will teach one on "Existentialism."  I think that's terrific that the NEH is supporting those opportunities for high school teachers, and that philosophers are stepping forward with valuable proposals.
