Work and Mission[edit]
The New Centre aims to create a uniquely interpolating process of learning. From their mission statement "Our pedagogical approach bootstraps the conventional role of the Arts, Humanities, and Sciences to construct new forms of research and practice alongside, within, and between the existing disciplines and technologies." This approach is very much tied to their online system of broadcast.[1] The institutes founders Jason Adams and Mohammad Salemy attest that the project was influenced by and incorporates aspects from FemTechNet and the CCRU. More broadly, seeing The New Centre as a journey in accelerationist academia. [2]
