Title
CUNY From My Window
Description
Led by Fernanda Blanco Vidal (in her capacity as Graduate Student Fellow of the Teaching and Learning Center at the CUNY Graduate Center), this crowd-sourced initiative featured a sense-making project aimed at documenting the embodied perspectives of CUNY community members during the pandemic, framed from the separate but related vantage point of the socially distanced window view. The output of this initiative has been published on a number of different venues and social platforms, including a Cargo website co-sponsored by the Center for the Humanities.
This item is part of the City University of New York (CUNY) Distance Learning Archive, a group project developed as part of Prof. Matthew K. Gold's Spring 2020 Knowledge Infrastructures seminar in the Ph.D. Program in English at The Graduate Center, CUNY, in partnership with the Interactive Technology and Pedagogy Certificate Program. The project's goal was to resist or trouble the discourse of catastrophe around the shift to online learning caused by the COVID-19 pandemic by documenting the lived experiences of students, faculty, and staff across CUNY's 25 campuses. Further, the project wanted to document the moment of crisis response by taking a critical approach to educational technology.
