Research Laboratories

All LCC faculty maintain active research programs. These programs include work based in specific research laboratories including:

LCC's James and Mary Wesley Center for New Media provides opportunities for graduate students, post-doctoral fellows and visiting scholars to investigate issues in augmented reality, immersive environments, interactive narrative, interactive television and film, physical computing, responsive spaces and other forms of experimental new media.
The Experimental Game Lab, novel game designs that create new player experiences; new technologies, particularly AI technologies; that enable previously impossible designs, and investigations of how games function as a medium, including social, cultural and representational aspects of games.
The Laboratory for Advanced Computing Initiatives (LACI), which emphasizes issues in the design of interactive narratives.
The BioMedia Studio dedicated to creatively exploring the relationships among art, technology, and the biosciences, especially the role that aesthetics, design, and representation play in our broad understanding of biotechnology, biomedicine, and related fields.
The Science Fiction Lab, where science fiction fellows are combining independent studies in science fiction with archival research in the Bud Foote Science Fiction Collection to develop an online science fiction research portal. All entries include overviews of the topic at hand, bibliographies of key primary and secondary texts, and annotated lists of relevant holdings in the Bud Foote Collection. Webpages also include links to related research at Georgia Tech and beyond. Recent entries include Mary Shelley's legacy to science fiction, representations of artificial intelligence in popular culture, and German science fiction.

Campus-Wide Research Efforts

LCC faculty play a leading role in a series of campus-wide research efforts related to the enhancement of the intellectual community. The most prominent of these efforts include:

The Awareness of Decisions in Evaluating Promotion and Tenure (ADEPT) website and computer instrument, which assists users in identifying forms of bias in faculty evaluation processes to achieve fair and objective evaluations
The NSF ADVANCE Program for Institutional Transformation which works to increase the participation of women in the scientific and engineering workforce through the increased representation and advancement of women in academic scientific and engineering careers
The Georgia Tech Center for the Study of Women, Science, and Technology which links issues in the study of science and technology with those of gender, culture, and society

Journals

LCC is home to two journals:

Configurations, the official publication of the Society for Literature, Science, and the Arts, Configurations is devoted to the study of the discourse pertaining to the theories and practices of science, technology, and medicine. (Published by Johns Hopkins University Press.)
Post Script: Essays in Film and the Humanities is devoted to current research in film studies (with Texas A&M University)
