This Friday – Feb 6 – Commons Community meeting
As members of the New Media Lab group on the Commons, you’re invited to join our next Open Community meeting to learn more about how faculty and staff are using the CUNY Academic Commons to support their research and teaching. We’re especially interested in hearing how you’re using the Commons to support projects you are working on, as well as any suggestions you have for improving the platform!
Community Meeting: February 6th
Starting in Spring 2025, the CUNY Academic Commons team began hosting semesterly open community meetings to update members on development work on the Commons, get feedback from users, and showcase robust projects.
Join us on February 6, 2026 from 1-2pm for our next Open Community Meeting, where we will hear from Ned Benton, a co-founder of the New York Slavery Records Index, an online searchable compilation of records that identify individual enslaved persons and enslavers in the Northeast United States.
Register for the February 6th meeting to receive the Zoom link.
We have another open community meeting scheduled for Friday, May 8th, from 1-2pm, to close out the semester. Register for the May 8th meeting here!

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
