Thanks for posting these. I’m surprised there is nothing related to American religious history. Perhaps a Fea-led seminar in a few years?>>I did a seminar 4 years ago on American religious history with Daniel Walker Howe, and not only was it a blast, I learned a ton, got my hands on great teaching resoruces, and made some good friends. I highly recommend applying.
