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.

This project will provide scholars and students an open-access multitextual digital edition of all versions of the medieval romance Richard Coer de Lyon, along with robust teaching and methodological resources. In so doing, it aims to set new precedents for intersectional, feminist, anti-racist digital-edition making.
