Congratulations to the 2013 – 2014 “Viral Culture” Fellows

Please join us in congratulating the 1st annual Northeastern University Humanities Center Resident Fellowship Program. This fellowship provides a focused period of time for fellows to pursue research, to collaborate around a common theme, and to share their work with the Northeastern community. The theme for the 2013-14 academic year is “Viral Culture”

2013 – 2014 Viral Culture: The theme of “viral culture” names modes of circulation and transmission of information, ideas, and biota across time and space. The Humanities Center thinks of “viral culture” as a way to  engage an array of important and emergent contemporary phenomena- related to areas as diverse  as social networks, the internet, new media, public health, sexuality, marketing, and globalization.  Viral culture has roots, as well, in fields as diverse as the history of public health, economics,  literature, transportation, and print culture. With this theme, scholars working in diverse fields and periods will consider the ways in which the viral transmission of memes, diseases, electronic signals, print texts-of varied forms of culture-inform new research.
