ITP/IMA is a community whose mission is to explore the imaginative uses of emerging technologies — to make people's lives safer, more just, more beautiful, more meaningful, and more fun.
Equitable ITP/IMA represents our commitment to fostering community and belonging both within and beyond our department. Initially established in 2020 as an ad-hoc task force to unify various efforts, it became an official Faculty Committee in 2022. Our initiatives include the creation and upkeep of Community Guidelines with the student group Tech and Society, the Equitable Syllabus Project, and the ITP Summer Student Fellowship focused on Ethical Technology and Community Engagement. We also promote inclusive teaching techniques for adjunct professors and provide equitable practice recommendations for admissions, scholarships, and course proposals. We organize workshops and focus groups with Faculty, Staff, and Students to facilitate dialogue and maintain a welcoming and balanced environment. Our collaboration extends to Tisch and NYU-wide initiatives, ensuring a platform for reflection, conversation, and growth. We invite anyone interested to contribute to these ongoing efforts.
