The Humanities Digital Workshop (Arts & Sciences Computing) and Digital Library Services (Olin Library) are happy to announce summer fellowships in Digital Humanities for undergraduate and graduate students. The fellowship program will introduce students to work being done in the digital humanities -- both at large and at Washington University -- and provide them the opportunity to contribute to WUSTL projects, including:

• Creating a Federal Government (Peter Kastor)
• Projects in Digital History (Tim Parsons, Keith Bennett)

  Tim Parsons is redesigning the introductory World History survey to include multi-media and historical simulation components. Keith Bennett is interested in incubating projects that would benefit from an immersive visualization of a historical site.

• Race and Children's Literature in the Gilded Age (Gerald Early, D.B. Dowd)
• Saint Louis Circuit Court Historical Records Project
• The Spenser Archive (Joseph Loewenstein)

Details

The workshop runs from June 2 - July 11 and will meet for four hours a day. The first two weeks will consist of instruction and faculty visits; the final four weeks, students will work on the project with which they're paired. (Undergraduates have the option of working an additional two weeks, making the fellowship a total of eight weeks.)

Graduates will receive a stipend of at least $1800; undergraduates will be paid at $10 per hour.

Note: graduate fellowships are assured, but the final stipend amount has yet to be determined.

To Apply

UPDATE: deadline for graduate fellowships has been extended to April 30.

By April 25, please submit a few paragraphs explaining your interest in the program, what you hope to learn from it, and the top two projects with which you're interested in pairing. Please contact Perry Trolard in the Humanities Digital Workshop for more info, or to apply.
