LAMA Lab is a space in which students and faculty address the different technologies of language and media. Encompassing in its approach and design, this lab emphasizes an up-close, ethnographic, and qualitative approach, and with an eye to AI and its influences and effects on media. With a particular attention to shifting technological developments, LAMA Lab is open-ended and exploratory in nature. Centered around reading groups, workshops, guest speakers, and experimentation with different interfaces and software, as well as providing small grants, this laboratory provides a space of convergence for those who are engaging in questions related to language, media, and AI. It is accessible to students and faculty at different stages of research, from planning to post-research analysis. This laboratory also provides a wider space for ethnographic engagements with language and media, from translation and oral history to audio and visual archives. For students enrolling for 1-credit course, the lab will meet throughout the semester, approximately every three weeks. Credit hours will be accrued through attendance to guest speakers, workshops and reading groups.
