Futures Initiative

The Futures Initiative aims to advance greater equity and innovation in higher education. Housed at the Graduate Center and reaching throughout the CUNY community, the Futures Initiative empowers the next generation of intellectual leaders with bold, public, and engaged teaching and learning. The Futures Initiative fosters greater understanding of the complexities of the higher education landscape by spearheading qualitative and quantitative research in areas such as academic labor practices and reward systems, open-access multimedia publishing, data visualization and interpretation, and institutional change. Through HASTAC@CUNY (a hub of the online network Humanities, Arts, Science and Technology Alliance and Collaboratory), the Futures Initiative extends its collaborative peer-to-peer practices across institutions, disciplines, national boundaries, and economic and social disparities, promoting reinvestment in higher education as a public good.

Tonight, 5/15: Two MA in DH and MS in Data Vis Events

  • Posted by Jason Nielsen on May 15, 2023 at 10:48 am

    Hi all,

    The MA Program in Digital Humanities and the MS Program in Data Analysis and Visualization are holding two in person events tonight, May 15th, that may be of interest. Feel free to distribute.

    The first event is a roundtable discussion that concludes our Spring “Methods of Text Analysis” course; the second event is a poster-style session, with students presenting projects from our “Visualization and Design” course.

    Feminist Text Analysis Roundtable
    Monday, May 15th, 4:15 – 6:15 PM
    ROOM 9205
    Description: During the Spring 2023 semester, students in the Methods of Text Analysis class have considered whether or not there is or can be such a thing as feminist text analysis. Alternatively, is feminism—and other forms of cultural critique—always an intervention or response? This roundtable is the culminating event for the Methods of Text Analysis class in which students will present short 5-minute provocations intended to open up to larger group discussion.

    Visualization and Design Final Review
    Monday, May 15th, 6:30 – 8:25 PM
    ROOMS C201-C202
    Description: This year’s projects are extremely compelling. Multiple projects grapple with the challenge of making qualitative, textured data visible and inviting readers to see data as both an abstraction and concrete experience. Others try to make sense of our cultural moment by investigating book bans, gaming & anxiety, and religion. Still others focus on New York City, its hospitals, taxis, and people.

    Best,
    Jason
