Summer Institute

The Solomon Asch Center Summer Institutes are innovative interdisciplinary programs designed to bridge the gap between research and practice by bringing together social scientists and practitioners to study the origins and consequences of ethnopolitical conflict, including issues relevant to working with refugees and others suffering from this conflict. Each Summer Institute, offered during alternating years, presents a broad, interdisciplinary curriculum of social science theories, research methods, and findings relevant to studying ethnopolitical conflict and its mental health effects, taught by leading experts from around the country and the world. The Institute also provides the opportunity, framework, and intellectual environment for fostering the initial steps toward research collaborations among the participating Fellows. The Asch Center has held summer institutes in 1999, 2001, 2003, and 2005.

We are currently seeking funding to resume the program.

Published by the University of Texas Press the book features 100 of Hyman's photographs and six critical essays that depict and discuss the emotional aftermath of the September 11, 2001, attacks -- a time when people from all walks of life created and encountered memorials to those who were murdered. Vernacular art appeared almost everywhere—on walls, trees, playgrounds, vehicles, houses, tombstones, and even on bodies. This outpouring of grief and other acts of remembrance impelled photographer Jonathan Hyman to document and preserve these largely impermanent, spontaneous expressions. This book, a unique archive of 9/11 public memory, is the result of his compiling a collection of 20,000 photographs, along with field notes and personal interviews.
