CFP: CALI Faculty Fellows, 2026
The CFP is now live for the second cohort of faculty fellows at the Teaching and Learning Center’s Critical AI Literacy Institute, which will run from Spring 2026-Spring 2027.
Faculty can apply to one of three tracks:
1. Critical Foundations of AI. We will recruit faculty from multiple disciplines to work together to develop modules for a course that offers a critical introduction to AI grounded in core disciplinary questions. Each selected faculty member will create a 3–4 week module, teach it in their own class in Fall 2026, and position it for possible adoption in a CUNY-wide AI foundations course.
2. Ecological Implications of AI. We will recruit faculty from multiple disciplines to develop curricula exploring the ecological implications of AI. Courses or course modules may explore these implications from a variety of perspectives including, but not limited to, the environmental impacts of AI infrastructure, policy and regulation advocacy to influence AI development, and tracing the political economies of AI.
3. T(h)inkering with AI. We will recruit faculty who will develop purpose-built, focused genAI tools to meet specific pedagogical goals within their courses. Faculty in this track will explore how scoped applications of these custom tools can support students as they work through familiar challenges, experimenting with approaches that fit the methods and questions of their fields.
This opportunity is open to all faculty teaching in Fall 2026 at CUNY.
Read the full call, and please share widely. Applications due January 26, 2026.

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
