About MIXI

Founded in 2020, the MIXI Institute for STEM and the Imagination is housed at the Adelphi University Brooklyn 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 complexity of learning ecologies of all kinds is underpinned by a rigorous commitment to the ethics of responsive research practices.
