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.

Toward Speculative Cartographies
Toward Speculative Cartographies will examine ways to reconstruct interactive digital mapping as a social and interpretative practice. In conversation with environmental and public humanities projects centered alongside eroding shores in Alaska, this effort will develop a prototype platform allowing the exploration of complex spaces and interrelated 'texts'—whether literary, new media, satellite, bureaucratic, computer-simulated, and/or ethnographic in origin.
