What is Digital Humanities and how does the Fellowship work?
Digital Humanities is a collaborative and ephemeral approach to humanistic inquiry using digital tools.
The Digital Humanities Fellowship aims to use DH in order to give students research experience outside of the normal paper format. This allows for use of various interactive tools such as TimelineJS in order to fully expand upon their research question. While the question has to be rooted in the humanities and apply to a public-facing domain, Fellows can apply with any feasible question that can be explored in this format.
The Fellows also learn skills such as Project Management in order to complete the project in 8 weeks. Though this is a short amount of time, the Fellowship itself is intense in terms of what is taught while also allowing the Fellows to work on their own measured out with weekly meetings with a Facilitator. The Fellows also create relationships with Library staff, other Fellows, and various other individuals related to their projects.
