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.

Digital World Wars: Teaching Undergraduates DH Skills in a Large Lecture Format
Two collaborators, doctoral candidate Taylor Soja and Associate Professor Laurie Marhoefer will build a new undergraduate course on the history of World Wars I and II that also teaches digital humanities skill sets to hundreds of students in a large lecture setting. This will be the history department’s first time teaching DH skills outside of small seminars. Students will leave the course with highly transferable skills that they can use to do new kinds of historical analysis and share their scholarship with the public.
