The New Centre for Research & Practice is an international, non-profit, higher education institute in the Arts, Humanities, and Sciences, offering online graduate & professional-development level certificate programs, workshops, seminars, exhibitions, residencies, and conferences in Art & Curatorial Practice, Critical Philosophy, Post-Planetary Universal Design, and Transdisciplinary Studies. Our carefully selected network of thinkers and scholars use the latest available technologies to advise and assist those seeking to make the transition between undergraduate and graduate schools, between graduate school and the professions, and between early career to advanced-career development. Through studying at The New Centre, students practice graduate & professional development-level research in a manner that does not interrupt their existing artistic, academic, or professional aspirations, but instead complements, enhances, and intensifies them. Our objective at The New Centre has been to destigmatize the concept of technological progress and advocate its use in the advancement of humanities knowledge and its production through bridging the gap between sciences and humanities.

The New Centre is conceived upon the idea that the space of knowledge is a laboratory for navigating the links between thought and action as well as critique and construction. Our pedagogical approach bootstraps the conventional role of the arts, humanities, sciences, and technologies to construct new forms of research and practice alongside, within, and between technology. We are a future-forward institution, linking the existing technological possibilities to the changes necessary for the continuation of our global civilization, if not the entire human race and its ecological habitat. The New Centre’s aim is to assemble an environment, both virtual and actual, that inspires our Students, Researchers, and Members to invent alternate understandings that can be put into collective practice. The majority of our Seminars, roundtables and symposia are conducted online via Zoom, enabling participants – from instructors to interlocutors to enrollees – to engage from anywhere in the world.
