Update: Join us for the 2018 year-end FHI-NCCU Digital Humanities Fellows symposium on Saturday May 5! More info here.
The Franklin Humanities Institute is pleased to announce the second cohort of North Carolina Central University-Duke University Digital Humanities Fellows. A key component of the FHI’s Mellon Humanities Futures initiative, the FHI-NCCU DH collaboration is built upon the Franklin Humanities Institute’s rich history of engagement with HBCU faculty and animated by an interest to advance digital humanities across institutions. The project is coordinated at NCCU by Matthew Cook (Professor of Postcolonial and South Asian Studies, Department of Language and Literature), Joshua Nadel (Associate Professor of History), and Kathryn Wymer (Associate Professor of Language and Literature), and at Duke by Victoria Szabo (Associate Research Professor of Art, Art History & Visual Studies; Director, FHI Digital Humanities Initiative) with assistance from Hannah Jacobs (Multimedia Analyst, Wired! Lab).
The fellowship program is geared towards increasing the use of digital technologies in the classroom. Fellows will have the opportunity to participate in a series of hands-on and interactive workshop, beginning in August 2017. The workshops will focus on both the theoretical and practical aspects of the digital humanities. NCCU faculty fellows are asked to create a new course or significantly revise an old one for inclusion in their regular teaching cycle. Fellows will also present their projects at a joint FHI-NCCU symposium in Spring 2018. For information on 2016-17 fellows, click here.
