Ecologize knowledge & shape the future
We are excited to announce the spring 2015 curricula for The New Centre for Research & Practice.

Following a successful fall 2014 season with nearly 200 participants engaged in groundbreaking arts and sciences research via our digital pedagogy platforms, we now look forward to an expanded lineup of 17 seminars, as well as our newly added Media & Technology program.

Apply for a certificate

Art & Curatorial Practice

Enroll in our seminars
Connect and work with instructors on specific research projects.
