This program offers Dartmouth faculty the opportunity to have book manuscripts, which are near completion but still open to revision, read and discussed by experts in a seminar setting. The internal and external participants are chosen by the Director of the Leslie Center in consultation with the author. Faculty with projects addressing humanities themes and methods, who would like to have their work reviewed, are encouraged to contact the Leslie Center for more information about how to submit a proposal.

After an author’s proposal accepted, the Leslie Center will organize the one-day seminar—inviting the internal and external participants, and, for the latter, arranging for their travel, lodging, and honoraria. The manuscript must be submitted by the author six weeks before the date of the seminar.

This program is run in coordination with the Dickey Center for International Understanding.
