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.

Digitized Ethnographies: Humanitarianism(s) and Forced Displacement in the Middle East (in collaboration with Ayda Apa Pomeshikov, Interdisciplinary Near & Middle Eastern Studies)
Our digital humanities project is a collaborative work to transfer compelling high points of our ethnographic dissertation research on humanitarian regimes in South-South forced displacement contexts to a digital platform by using Omeka Classic and Neatline software. We will create an open access, interactive website to present our ethnographic findings by using visual media.
