As a Digital Humanities Fellow, Fatou intends to use digital tools to engage in topics surrounding election policy, democracy, and freedom.

Heather Stokes ’25 is a rising senior with a Theatre Arts and Anthropology double major who studied abroad in Berlin in Spring ‘24. They were led to the Fellowship due to their focus in Cultural Anthropology being honed towards protests and civil rights. Digital Humanities has proven to be a great deal of intrigue to them during this project as it combines Anthropology with the digital age in their opinion. In the future, Heather would like to work for a professional touring company such as Cirque du Soleil along with getting their Master’s in Bioarchaeology or Classical Archaeology.
