Call for faculty fellowship applications from the Digital Humanities Collaborative

Call for applications

The Digital Humanities Collaborative invites Georgia College & State University faculty to submit applications for a fellowship to be awarded for the 2024-25 academic year. The fellowship in the amount of $1,000 will be dispersed as professional development funds.

The fellowship provides support for faculty to pursue research or creative work with a digital component. The goal of the fellowship is to increase productivity in innovative digital scholarship at Georgia College.

The deadline to apply is May 17, 2024.

Selection criteria:

The proposed project should exhibit the potential to yield original results. We encourage proposals that foster student engagement through undergraduate research or community-based engaged learning. Applicants may be new to digital humanities, but those with some technical proficiency in using desired tools for the proposed project will be given special consideration.

Outcomes:

The fellow will deliver a public presentation of the project before the end of the fellowship term. 

Eligibility:

Faculty in the College of Arts & Sciences in permanent, full-time, ongoing positions and all faculty in the Ina Dillard Russell Library are eligible to apply. 

A single award of $1,000 will be given to one faculty member. The award may not be split among a group of faculty.

The fellowship period will begin July 1, 2024, and end June 30, 2025.

The fellowship award will be determined by recommendations from the Digital Humanities Collaborative to the Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. The award decision will be announced to faculty applicants no later than May 31, 2024.

Application instructions:

To apply, submit a short curriculum vitae, a brief description of the proposed digital humanities project (500 words maximum), and statements about how the fellowship will advance your research interests and how it will impact your teaching.

Complete the application form.
