AWARDS SERIES
Marshall McLuhan Award in Digital Humanities
This award has been established in honor of the scholarship of Marshall McLuhan which helped to create a paradigm shift regarding an understanding of the function and effects of media. Noted for coining the phrase "the medium is the message," McLuhan's work was prophetic as it predicted a digital culture. It is in honor of the interdisciplinary nature of his work and his attention to media and related technology as cultural tools that this award has been named.

This award has been established in honor of the literary achievement and concern for cultural preservation of I. B. Singer, Nobel Prize Laureate.
