Digital Humanities Summer Fellowships Cohort Archive
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.

Beyond Biomimesis: Refiguring Fabrication Naturecultures Through Digital Craft Exercises
As a scholar of digital craft and fabrication, I aim to bring craft and ethnographic knowledges into conversation with engineering discourses to explore the possibilities for making fabrication practices more collectively survivable. With funding I will set up a series of free online digital craft exercises that can demonstrate salient aspects of my contributions in practice.
