Winston Churchill and the Anglo-American Relationship
Recipient: Muller, James W (Anchorage, AK 99508-4037 USA) in affiliation with Churchill Centre (Washington, DC 20036 USA)
Goal: A three-week school teacher summer institute for twenty-four participants on Winston Churchill's role in twentieth-century history, to be held in Cambridge and London, England.
Description: This Institute, a repeat of our 2008 program, is a three-pronged approach to examining the Anglo-American relationship through the life, reflections, and experiences of Winston Churchill: a classroom experience of lectures, discussions and personal responses to the readings and films; individual research by teachers using primary documents from the Churchill Archives, Churchill College, Cambridge; and visits to major Churchill sites in Britain. Churchill was himself the product of an Anglo-American relationship: his mother was the American Jennie Jerome and his father was Lord Randolph Churchill, a son of the Duke of Marlborough. The Institute will primarily focus on Churchill's role in the major events of the twentieth century, but because he was a lifelong student of Americans and American history, his views on our country from its earliest settlers and the American Revolution to Eisenhower's role in the Suez Crisis of 1956 are pertinent to the relationship.

Religious Demography and Conflict in Ireland, 1659-1926
Recipient: Miller, Kerby Alonzo (Columbia, MO 65211 USA) in affiliation with University of Missouri, Columbia
Goal: Conference papers, journal articles, and a monograph on religious/demographic change in Ireland, and its social, political, and cultural concomitants from 1659 to 1926. (36 months)
Description: Ireland's partition and the recent "Troubles" in Northern Ireland are often viewed as inevitable results of struggle between two communal traditions--Protestant/British vs. Catholic/Irish--persisting, especially in Ulster, since the British plantations in the 1500s-1600s. Our study of Irish religious demography, 1659-1926, reveals that Irish history is much more complex than that binary model suggests. By charting the shifting boundaries between Irish Protestants and Catholics, we show that, especially in Ulster, economic and political conflict within the Protestant community was often the primary factor in shaping Irish society. Thus, our study suggests that better understanding Ireland's past may point to a less polarized future.

bcThe Dutch Republic and Britain: The Making of Modern Society and a European World-Economy
Recipient: Koot, Gerard M (N. Dartmouth, MA 02747 USA) in affiliation with University of Massachusetts, Dartmouth (North Dartmouth, MA 02747 USA)
Goal: A five-week summer seminar, to be held in Great Britain and the Netherlands, for fifteen school teachers to study the rise of both the Dutch economic empire in the seventeenth century and the British economic empire in the eighteenth century.
Description: The purpose of this five week (July 1-August 3,2007) NEH Seminar for School Teachers at the Historical Institute in London and the Netherlands Institute for Advanced Studies in Wassenaar is to investigate how a region of northwest Europe, centered around the North Sea, acquired the characteristics that historians have labeled modern. We will study how the national economy of the Dutch Republic rose to dominance in the new European world-economy of the seventeenth century, how Britain acquired this supremacy in the eighteenth century, and how it transformed itself to become the first industrial nation. Using a comparative method, we will study contemporary accounts, five seminal historical works and visit some of the key places that experienced this world-historical transformation. The seminar will allow teachers to explore the historiography of an important topic in European economic and social history and to appreciate the interdisciplinary nature of humanistic studies.
