About Us
The Simpson Center for the Humanities seeks to advance vital research and spirited intellectual exchange on questions of broad and pressing concern through and across the academic fields of the humanities and the humanistic social sciences. As a research unit within the Humanities Division of the College of Arts & Sciences at the University of Washington, the Simpson Center supports scholarship that draws on the core areas of humanistic inquiry and beyond.
The Simpson Center has been supported from its inception by generous donors as well as sustaining funds from the University of Washington and a series of major external grants. We appreciate all of the forms of support, large and small, that make our work possible, and would like to especially thank our major donors, whose gifts have established endowments and initiated and sustained long-term programs.
Each year, the Simpson Center receives generous gifts that provide support for a wide range of activities on the UW campus and in the greater Seattle community. These contributions enable the Simpson Center to foster the growth of existing programs and to provide support for new initiatives in the development of cutting edge research, innovative teaching, and campus-community engagement. We welcome unrestricted gifts as well as support for specific programs, such as the Digital Humanities Summer Fellowship program and graduate student support.
