THE 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 digital projects based on their own scholarly research. Often, we are able to provide a stipend to support student work done at the Lab. The NML is under the auspices of the Center for Media and Learning / American Social History Project.
WAYS TO GET INVOLVED
- STUDENTS: Create your multimedia project at the NML. Apply for a funded part-time position.
Please begin by emailing Andrea A. Vásquez a short letter of introduction about your field,
interests, and plan for your digital work at the Lab. - FACULTY: Work with student researchers and NML staff on your new media project or research.
