Long Road

It’s that time of year again! Time to put your thinking cap on and come up with a project for the Vectors summer institute. I can’t say enough good things about Vectors and the folks who run it, if you even think you might have an idea, I suggest you go for it! My 2005 Vectors fellowship was, and continues to be, one of the best academic experiences of my career. This is the cutting edge of Digital Humanities thinking. Go For It!!

USC’s IML, the electronic journal Vectors, and UC-HRI are pleased to announce a National Endowment for the Humanities Fellowship Program for summer 2010 designed to foster innovative multimedia research. Titled “Broadening the Digital Humanities,” the Institute will offer scholars the opportunity to explore the benefits of interactive media for scholarly analysis and authorship, illustrating the possibilities of multimodal media for humanities investigation. Fellows participating in the program will learn both by engaging with a variety of existing projects as well as through the production of their own project in collaboration with the Vectors-IML team. The projects fellows create will at once enrich their own understanding of the digital humanities and model the field for other scholars. Select projects will be published in Vectors and other venues.
