New Media Lab

THE NEW MEDIA LAB (NML) assists City University of New York (CUNY) Graduate Center faculty and doctoral students from a variety of academic disciplines to create multimedia projects based on their own scholarly research. Our goal is to integrate new media into traditional academic practice, challenging scholars to develop fresh questions in their respective fields using the tools of new technology. The NML is committed to a vision of new technology based on open access to ideas, tools, and resources.

With ongoing support from CUNY, the New Media Lab has become a dynamic environment in which projects funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Rockefeller Foundation, the Old York Library Foundation, and other private and public sources demonstrate new approaches and methods of merging digital media, scholarship, and learning.

Located in room 7388.01 at the CUNY Graduate Center and run under the auspices of the Center for Media and Learning / American Social History Project, NML researchers:

work across academic disciplines to produce scholarly digital media projects;

analyze Internet usage in the educational, social, and commercial sectors;

construct 3-D environments that explore ways of visualizing the arts, humanities, and sciences

digitally archive and analyze a wide range of data
participate in public programs that address the critical intersection of knowledge and technology

    Are you interested in using digital tools in your research, but don’t know where to start? Do you want to learn more about digital technologies alongside a supportive group of your peers?

    The GC Digital Research Institute (DRI) is an introduction to core digital research skills that can be applied widely to different kinds of projects. This institute is catered towards building foundational skills and will be paced accordingly to ensure those who are new will leave feeling more confident in their skills. DRI is designed for beginning learners—those who have little or no prior experience working with a programming language. We begin with an introduction to computing using the command line.

    Participants will attend a series of remote sessions from Jan 21st-24th, 2025 to develop basic digital research skills and connect with others in an interdisciplinary context.To accommodate a remote-learning environment, the 2025 DRI will consist of four Zoom sessions. Our first day of the institute takes place on Tuesday, January 21, at 9:30am, which will begin with a kick-off event and consist of various sessions held between 9:30am and 4:30pm from January 21st to January 24th, with breaks scheduled throughout. Participants will learn Python, HTML/CSS, digital mapping, and more through dedicated workshops and practices. Beyond our Zoom meetings, DRI will also include space for informal co-working sessions and opportunities to build with peers. By applying, you agree to participate in all activities.

    Participation is free, and open to graduate students, faculty, and staff at the Graduate Center; however, applications are required. Applications are due by 11:59 pm on Tuesday, December 3rd, 2024. More information about previous institutes and what to expect, as well as a link to the application can be found on the GC DRI website: http://cuny.is/gcdri. If you are interested and would like more information, here’s a link to our FAQ.
