Digital Humanities Summer Fellowships
The Simpson Center offers annual summer fellowships for faculty and graduate students to pursue research projects that use digital technologies in innovative and intensive ways and/or explore the historical, social, aesthetic, and cross-cultural implications of digital cultures. The program has three primary goals:
- To animate knowledge—using rich media, dynamic databases, and visualization tools
- To circulate knowledge—among diverse publics
- To understand digital culture—historically, theoretically, aesthetically, and generatively
The Simpson Center gratefully acknowledges the support of a National Endowment for the Humanities Challenge Grant and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation as well as many donors to the endowment which is underwriting these fellowships.

Cherokee Earth Dwellers on RavenSpace Digital Publication Project
Cherokee Earth Dwellers on RavenSpace develops a digital publication of the print book Cherokee Earth Dwellers: Stories and Teachings of the Natural World with RavenSpace, a University of British Columbia Press digital platform for media-rich, interactive publications created collaboratively by scholars and Indigenous community members. Cherokee Earth Dwellers presents a Cherokee ecology explored through Cherokee creature names, environmental relationships, traditional stories, and philosophical discussions with Cherokee knowledge keepers and fluent speakers of the endangered Cherokee language. Weaving together a chorus of voices in text, audio, and video formats, the digital book explores how contemporary Cherokee knowledge keepers conceptualize and relate to the natural world.
