Trent Experimental Methods & Media Lab
The Trent Experimental Methods & Media Lab (or EMM Lab) is a new addition to the Traill campus. We provide resources and community for research projects that draw on strengths—and reach audiences—beyond traditional modes of academic writing. It is both a media lab, providing production equipment for film, video, audio, print, and critical code projects, and a methods co-laboratory, in which faculty, students, and community partners explore creative methods of research and research-dissemination. Our risograph machine, and the zines, prints, and posters produced thereby, helps to support this mandate. The EMM Lab is currently directed by Dr. Anne Pasek.

Please note that the link is connected to a local solar-powered server in Peterborough, and is thus apt to going down during snowstorms or extended cloudy periods. If at first you don't succeed, try again later, when it's sunny!
