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.

Marlowe in Sheets

Marlowe in Sheets is a hybrid digital-materiality project that will provide open access to the complete works of early modern playwright and poet Christopher Marlowe in their original form: foldable “sheets” of paper. As a scholarly and pedagogical tool that connects users to the materiality of Marlowe’s texts, this project will offer Marlowe’s corpus in optimized PDFs that can be downloaded, printed, assembled, and customized in tandem with robust educational and academic resources and content.
