ABOUT MIXI

Founded in 2020, the Manhattan Institute for STEM and the Imagination -- MIXI -- is housed at the Adelphi University Manhattan Center. The Institute provides an open space for transdisciplinary collaboration and innovation in response to rapidly changing social and material conditions of contemporary life. We pursue novel theoretical and methodological approaches to the social sciences, drawing on fields such as speculative philosophy, affective computing, science and technology studies, sensory ethnography, immersive arts and media, adaptive architecture, sensor technologies, and critical life studies. Our combined focus on the biosocialities of learning and behaviour is underpinned by a rigorous commitment to bio-ethics that is responsive to social, technological, and environmental change.
