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

    Hi all! I’ll be leading a workshop on Thursday on Digital Project Design in advance of the Provost’s Digital Innovation Grant deadline. You will be able to get something out of our work regardless of whether you are developing your project for a PDIG proposal or something else. I can’t wait to share with you a new activity for helping to refine your audience… The description and link to register are below.

    Take care,

    Digital Project Design Workshop
    February 5 @ 11:30 am – 1:00 pm || Zoom

    Do you have a digital project you want to start? Are you planning to apply for a Provost’s Digital Innovation Grant (PDIG)? What does it take to get started making your idea come to fruition? Join this 90-minute, online, interactive workshop to take your project idea and develop a realizable project outline and abstract. We will begin by thinking about the rationale or need for the project. Then we will develop a clear, coherent audience statement. We will identify what affordances and resources you have at your disposal while developing your work, and we will work together to help plan for  your project’s needs. As time allows, we will work on potential outreach and communication strategies and modes of evaluation. Finally, we will go over the project proposal format for the Provost’s Digital Innovation Grants so that you can start looking for funding to support your work. All you need to bring to the virtual room are your ideas, focus, and space to write. This session is designed to be interactive, so plan to unmute and ask all your questions.

    The workshop is free, but registration is limited to those who sign-up in advance.
