CALL FOR APPLICATIONS
The Digital Humanities Collaborative invites Georgia College & State University faculty to submit applications for fellowships to be awarded for the 2023-24 academic year. Fellowships in the amount of $1,000 each will be dispersed as professional development funds.
Fellowships provide support for faculty to pursue research or creative work with a digital component. The goal of the fellowships is to increase productivity in innovative digital scholarship at Georgia College.
The deadline to apply is May 19, 2023.
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:
Fellows will deliver a public presentation of the project before the end of the fellowship term. The fellow will also submit a final 1-2 page report about how the fellowship has advanced the fellow’s own research. The report should state the progress made on the proposed project.
ELIGIBILITY:
Faculty in the College of Arts and Sciences and the Ina Dillard Russell Library in lecturer or tenure-track positions of all ranks are eligible to apply. Awards will be given to one faculty member per fellowship. Faculty on 12-month appointments are not eligible.
The fellowship period will begin July 1, 2023, and end June 30, 2024.
Fellowship awards will be determined by recommendations from the Digital Humanities Collaborative to the Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. Award decisions will be announced to faculty applicants no later than June 9, 2023.
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.
