EBSCO has announced its support of a three-month EBSCO Fellowship in Digital Humanities, North America*, offered through the Bodleian Libraries at the University of Oxford. The fellowship helps digital humanities scholars pursue innovative, independent research while engaging with Oxford’s world-renowned collections and expertise.
By providing financial support and protected research time, fellowships empower scholars to pursue ambitious projects, expand professional networks and strengthen future career opportunities. The EBSCO Fellowship in Digital Humanities, North America, supports this mission by encouraging innovative digital scholarship and offering access to the Bodleian Libraries’ special collections and the Centre for Digital Scholarship, helping fellows produce impactful research that contributes new perspectives to the humanities.
“Fellowships are essential to fostering the next generation of scholars and advancing meaningful research,” said Dr Megan Gooch, Head of the Centre for Digital Scholarship at the University of Oxford. “By supporting opportunities that provide researchers with dedicated time, institutional connections, and access to world-class resources, we help create conditions where new ideas can flourish and important discoveries can emerge.”
“Digital humanities research is expanding what’s possible in scholarly inquiry by bringing together technology, data, and traditional humanities scholarship in powerful new ways,” said EBSCO Vice President, Archive Products, Terry Robinson. “By supporting this fellowship, we’re investing in researchers whose innovative methodologies and insights can enrich their disciplines and the broader research community.”
EBSCO’s philanthropic support of the fellowship reflects its commitment to preserving perspectives through research and access to primary sources. As EBSCO continues to expand its investment in digital archives, the company supports efforts to preserve diverse voices, histories and cultural contributions while enabling new forms of scholarly inquiry.
Applications and information about the fellowship, including upcoming information sessions, are available at EBSCO Fellowship in Digital Humanities, North America.
