NYU Libraries, The Center for the Humanities, and NYU Research and Instructional Technology invites applications for 2023 Digital Humanities Graduate Student Summer Fellowships. Students apply with their own proposed project, which might involve--for example--engaging with digital humanities methods as the basis for a dissertation chapter or article, or building a digital public humanities project or exhibit. Project work will take place during Summer 2023, and participants will report on work completed at a Fall 2023 event.
The NYU Libraries, The Center for the Humanities, and NYU Research and Instructional Technology invites applications for a fourth series of Digital Humanities Seed Grants. These grants are intended to fund the initial development of new research projects that will analyze digital sources, apply algorithmic methods to humanities data, or create digital publications, exhibits, or websites. The goal of the program is to seed projects that may go on to receive greater funding from other sources or otherwise build NYU’s institutional capacity in Digital Humanities work.

The NYU Center for the Humanities is pleased to announce the launch of a new Humanities Lab for the 2021-22 academic year. The Cross/Currents H-Lab will bring into dialogue the environmental humanities and migration studies, with an emphasis on race, diaspora, and indigeneity. The Lab Team has outlined three main trajectories for its investigations around the notion of Cross/Currents: mobility, transmission, and flow. The Lab's ultimate purpose is to decenter an anthropocentric and imperialistic understanding of global interconnection and exchange.
The Cross/Currents H-Lab takes the word currents as its inspiration, as both a metaphor and a tool, enveloping not only its main definition in relation to water or its movement, but also its broader reverberations. By connecting the words cross and currents, our main goal is to bring into dialogue environmental humanities and migration studies (with an emphasis on race, diaspora, and indigeneity). In our work together we hope to rehearse ways of bringing literary and artistic analysis to bear on issues of the environment and migration, and vice-versa.
