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

Python Users\’ Group meeting, February 11th.

  • Posted by gcdigitalfellows on February 7, 2019 at 2:53 pm

    Dear all,

    The Python Users’ Group (PUG) is back for the Spring semester. For those who haven’t been in our meetings yet, it is good to know that we promote a casual and welcoming atmosphere (usually with some snacks), where people can chat about python, work together or just hang around. We have people in different levels of expertise with lots of beginners excited to learn about Python. Even if you have never done anything with Python, you are more than welcome.

    In this semester, we are going to be meeting the second Monday of every month, always at 6:30pm at the GC Digital Scholarship Lab (room 7414). Our very first meeting will be this upcoming Monday, the 11th. We will play around with the NLTK stopwords and try to figure out what is wrong with it. (if the last sentence did not make any sense to you, don’t worry, we will explain it over there).

    You can check our calendar and learn more about PUG here.

    Also, if you are interested in participate in our meetings, make sure to join our group on the commons. That is the place where we decide the topics to be discussed on each meeting and share other things.

    Hope to see you all Monday.
