Digital and Data 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.

Digitized Ethnographies: Humanitarianism(s) and Forced Displacement in the Middle East (in collaboration with Ayda Apa Pomeshikov, Interdisciplinary Near & Middle Eastern Studies)
Our digital humanities project is a collaborative work to transfer compelling high points of our ethnographic dissertation research on humanitarian regimes in South-South forced displacement contexts to a digital platform by using Omeka Classic and Neatline software. We will create an open access, interactive website to present our ethnographic findings by using visual media.
