(From the CML/ASHP website) “History is bunk!”
So said Henry Ford in 1916. He was wrong. For most Americans, the past is interesting and important – it’s “History” that is the problem. Too often History is an irrelevant school subject to be endured for a year or two, a bunch of names and dates quickly forgotten.
History means something different for the American Social History Project/Center for Media and Learning (ASHP/CML). It’s a place to investigate, full of surprising discoveries. And it’s not just one story; good history involves the telling of many stories: often conflicting, sometimes troubling, and frequently inspiring. For more than twenty-five years, we’ve written books, produced documentaries, created digital and online programming, and organized activities that challenge the traditional ways people learn history. Informed by the latest scholarship, we make the past, and the lives of the working people and “ordinary” Americans who shaped it, vivid and meaningful.
Based at The City University of New York Graduate Center, ASHP/CML produces print, visual, and multimedia materials that explore the richly diverse social and cultural history of the United States. We also lead professional development seminars that help teachers in New York City and across the nation to use the latest scholarship, technology, and active learning methods in their classrooms. ASHP/CML supervises The Graduate Center’s New Media Lab, which facilitates student and faculty digital projects and research.

(From the MIT Media Lab website) The MIT Media Lab applies an unorthodox research approach to envision the impact of emerging technologies on everyday life—technologies that promise to fundamentally transform our most basic notions of human capabilities. Unconstrained by traditional disciplines, Lab designers, engineers, artists, and scientists work atelier-style, conducting more than 350 projects that range from neuroengineering, to how children learn, to developing the city car of the future. Lab researchers foster a unique culture of learning by doing, developing technologies that empower people of all ages, from all walks of life, in all societies, to design and invent new possibilities for themselves and their communities.

(From the metaLAB website) metalab (at) Harvard

• is a space for experimentation, project development and information sharing open to all members of the Harvard community
• is a community of scholars, technologists, designers, artists, architects, and students engaged in team-based experiments that merge research, teaching, publication, social action, and/or the use and development of digital tools
• assumes the form of a portfolio of projects that seek to expand the compass, reach, impact and public presence of the arts and the humanities on campus and in the world
• is a catalyst for innovation and a project incubator, crossing school boundaries, interacting with the Harvard libraries, museums, and archives, as well as with external partners (universities, cultural institutions, foundations, NGOs, corporations, public media, community groups)
• serves as an e-publishing hub dedicated to modeling the print-plus and post-print publishing genres of the new millennium
• is based at the Berkman Center for Internet and Society, an ideal home for such an endeavor

Less a unified structure than a cluster of experiments, metaLAB (at) Harvard provides an institutional home for Harvard’s digital art, design, and humanities communities.
The lab is founded on the belief that some of the key research challenges and opportunities of the new millennium, not to mention crucial questions about experience in a connected world, about the boundaries of culture and nature, about democracy and social justice, transcend divisions between the arts, humanities and sciences; between the academy, industry, and the public sphere; between theoretical and applied knowledge.

(From the Stanford Humanities Lab website) The Stanford Humanities Lab (SHL) is a loosely structured, self-supporting research collaboratory built around the work of its faculty leaders. It serves as a platform for transdiciplinary/post-disciplinary study dedicated to exploring innovative scenarios for the future of knowledge production and reproduction in the arts and humanities.
We believe that some crucial questions — about what it is to be human, about experience in a connected world, about the boundaries of culture and nature — transcend old divisions between the arts, sciences, and humanities; between the academy, industry, and the public sphere. We engage in large-scale experimental projects with a "laboratory" ethos — collaborative, co-creative, team-based — involving a triangulation of arts practice, commentary/critique, and outreach, merging research, pedagogy, publication and practice. Beyond commentary and discussion, we build: new media, interactive archives, predictive models of social change, participatory research models, collaborative research workshops, art exhibitions, public art works.
We are committed to a Big Humanities / Big Arts approach to humanistic inquiry and artistic practice, modeled along the lines of Big Science: large-scale, long-term, team-based projects that build big pictures out of the tesserae of expert knowledge.
