The Digital Humanities Research Scholars Residency at CESTA (formerly known as DH Research Fellows Program) is designed to prepare graduate students for a future where digital scholarship is the norm. Applications for the 2024-25 program are due Friday, November 8, 2024.

Over two quarters (Winter and Spring), scholars will enter a community of practice that features workshops with special guests tailored to the needs of the cohort, works-in-progress presentations from fellows, and guidance from scholars and practitioners across campus. Each DH scholar will benefit from two quarters of support from undergraduate research interns whose interests and expertise closely align with the research project.

To foster a community of practice, fellows gather for weekly meetings with their cohort. The program of meetings typically includes:

  • Skills workshops
  • Seminars from DH practitioners
  • Works-in-progress presentations
  • Graduate reading group

Eligibility

The Digital Humanities Research Scholars Residency  is open to Stanford graduate students (both Master's and PhD) and postdoctoral fellows in the humanities and interpretive social sciences. Priority is given to students who have completed their required coursework. Applicants are required to propose a research project which they pursue with undergraduate research interns over the course of the fellowship. This research project may (but need not) be part of their dissertation research.  Applications for the 2024-25 program are due November 8, 2024.
