The National WWII Museum invites applications for its Faculty Seminar in World War II History to be held in New Orleans, Louisiana, from June 21-27, 2026. This weeklong intensive program is designed for college-level instructors or professors who desire a stronger historical background in the American experience in World War II. We encourage applicants from under-resourced, regional, and smaller universities, as well as the faculty at Minority Served Institutions (MSIs) and Historically Black Colleges (HBCUs). In addition, the program is open to Professional Military Education (PME) and Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) instructors.<\/p>\n
This program is crafted for faculty whose academic expertise falls outside WWII history but who regularly teach and\/or research the WWII era. This seminar is intended to develop the knowledge and understanding of the American experience of World War II for active college and university faculty who wish to teach, advocate for, or design history courses and content regarding this significant conflict.<\/p>\n
The program consists of a series of content and pedagogical seminars led by the Museum\u2019s expert faculty covering the war\u2019s major themes, campaigns, outcomes, and legacies. Lodging for six nights, select meals, and course materials are provided. Travel costs to and from New Orleans are the responsibility of the attendee or their institution.
\nIf you are unable to obtain financial assistance from your institution and would desire consideration for a travel grant, limited funds may be available on a case-by-case basis. Further information on such requests will be made available upon invitation to the program.<\/p>\n
Applicants will be selected based upon their potential contributions to the teaching of WWII history and the impact they can make at their institutions. A selection committee will consider each applicant\u2019s packet on its own merits.
\nThe deadline for applications is January 12, 2026, at 11:59 PM (CST).<\/p>\n
All applicants will be informed of their status by February 16, 2026.<\/p>\n
Interested applicants should submit:
\n1. A completed application form
\n2. Curriculum Vitae
\n3. One letter of recommendation from a chair or colleague that addresses the applicant\u2019s teaching abilities and skills<\/p>\n
