Details:
Technology has had an enormous impact on modern society, affecting how they work, communicate, learn, engage in the political process, and live. The relationship between technology and culture continues to have dramatic impacts, both positive and negative, on their health, the environment, their social interactions, their government, cultural and educational institutions, the arts, and nearly all other aspects of life.
The Dangers & Opportunities of Technology: Perspectives from the Humanities program (DOT) supports humanistic research that explores the relationship between technology and society.
NEH is particularly interested in projects that examine current social and cultural issues that are significantly shaped by technology. The project’s goal must be to expand understanding of a particular topic in the humanities and not engage in political advocacy.
NEH invites projects that link their research to compelling social issues where technology plays a key role. Projects may address a wide range of topics, such as:
- climate change
- racial justice
- social media, disinformation, and the democratic process
- medical technologies
- wealth inequality
- data privacy and ethics of algorithms
- cryptocurrencies and nonfungible tokens (NFTs)
- supply chains and infrastructure
- educational technologies
- streaming economy (e.g., music, television, film)
The DOT program can support activities such as:
- course releases
- research assistance
- research travel
- community partner participation
- conducting studies or interviews
- convenings
- data collection and analysis
