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.

Latino Roots in Washington

Latino Roots in Washington is a digital storytelling project that aims to document the stories of the Latino/x community in order to expand the historical narrative of Latino and Latin American immigration, settlement, social movements, as well as civic and political integration into the State. The project intends to foster community engagement in the collection of stories, which will result in a community-informed digital archive and public online exhibit.
