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.

Arctic Climate Change Through Human Narratives and Data-as-Music
Standard information-driven models of climate science communication have failed to gain traction broadly in the American mind, despite increasingly devastating impacts of global warming. This project co-creates soundtracks that blend storytelling with data sonification to bring new acoustic perspectives to the science and lived experience of Arctic climate change.
