The African American Studies & Research Center (AASRC) and History
Department at Purdue University and the Digital Humanities Initiative (DHi)
at Hamilton College are pleased to announce an NEH ODH Institute for
Advanced Topics in the Digital Humanities for summer 2016 (& follow-up
workshop in 2017). The Institute is designed to offer twenty (20) early and
mid-career Africana/Black Studies scholars, graduate students, librarians
and archivists an opportunity to think critically about the relationship
and intersections between Africana/Black Studies and the spatial humanities.*Application and Logistics*:
Up to 20 fellowships will be awarded to individuals who demonstrate serious
interest in the application of geo-spatial technologies to issues in
Africana/Black studies. While all early and mid-career Africana/Black
studies scholars and graduate students are eligible to apply, we are
especially interested in collaborating with those who have experience in
one or more geo-spatial technologies as well as scholars who have thought
critically about the spatial dimensions of Africana/Black Studies as a
field.All fellows will participate in a three-week residency June 5-26, 2016 at
Purdue. Residency will include colloquia and working sessions in which
participants collectively develop project foundations and address relevant
issues in spatial humanities. Fellows will also be provided the opportunity
to present their own projects. Applicants need not be proficient with
geo-spatial technologies but must demonstrate some level of engagement with
them as well as with spatial questions and analyses. Evidence of the
capacity for successful interdisciplinary collaboration and for scholarly
innovation is required.Fellowship awards will include a stipend of $3,800 for each participant,
which will be used to cover expenses for accommodation, travel and meals
for the Institute and Workshop. Participants are required to attend the
Institute (@Purdue) and Workshop (@Hamilton) to fulfill the terms of their
fellowship.*Applications should include the following*:
* Two to three-page statement describing how participation in the Institute
will fit the scholarly and professional goals of the applicant.
* One-page description of the applicant’s experience with geo-spatial
technologies and spatial analysis.
* Brief CV (maximum of three pages).
* Letter of support from department chair for non-tenured faculty or from
their dissertation advisor for doctoral candidates.
* Projects that articulate a clear understanding of the potential of
spatial humanities and the problems associated with the use of geo-spatial
technologies in humanities scholarship will be regarded favorably.Electronic applications are required. Please assemble all application
materials, except for letters of recommendation, into one PDF file.Submit to nehspaceandplaceblstinstitute@gmail.com
Deadline for applications: *January 25, 2016*. Fellowship recipients will
be notified February 25, 2016.Questions may be directed to kgallon@purdue.edu and/or anieves@hamilton.edu
