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

  • Reminder: Call for DHI Lightning Talks (submit by 11/8)

    Posted by gcdigitalfellows on November 1, 2024 at 3:47 pm

    GC Digital Initiatives is excited to host the 10th annual Digital Humanities Initiative (DHI) Lightning Talks on Tuesday, November 19, 2024 from 5:30- 7:30 PM. The event will be hybrid, allowing presenters/audience members to join online over Zoom or in-person at the Graduate Center in rooms 9205/9206 (9F). Each year the event brings together digital humanities projects and scholars across the CUNY system, building a sense of community and awareness about the work taking place within our own network. This year, we are thrilled to have Andie Silva, Associate Professor of English (York College) and Digital Humanities (Graduate Center), give a keynote address titled, “The DH Syllabus as Archive: Digital Pedagogy, Feminist Citation, and Sustainability.”

    Lightning Talks, brief 3-minute and 3-slide presentations, create opportunities for students, faculty, and others to present their digital projects, research, and initiatives and to receive feedback. It’s a wonderful way to get the word out about what you do to a wider CUNY community, and to hear about what your colleagues are doing across all 25 campuses.

    Sign up to attend and/or to present your digital humanities project, research, or questions with students, faculty, and staff from across CUNY’s campuses.
