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.

Creation of an Interdisciplinary Minor in Digital Textual Studies
I'll develop the outlines of an Interdisciplinary Minor in Digital Textual Studies, around a core of 2-3 courses highlighting digital work in the areas of editing and publishing; archives, repositories and databases; and text analysis. The minor will build on the graduate certificate in Textual and Digital Studies, and offer students the chance for a rich intellectual engagement with materials from a textual scholarly perspective and to acquire technical skills working in digital contexts useful for many career pathways.
