The Critical Information Studies Project (CRISP) at Dartmouth is dedicated to the critical study of information, data, and media in contemporary and historical contexts. CRISP brings together scholars, media practitioners, artists, and students at all levels to analyze and critique the politics and ethics of information broadly defined. It draws on Dartmouth’s long tradition of student–faculty–staff collaboration in creating a space where research, project-based and experiential approaches, learning-by-doing, and curricular development stimulate and inform each other. 

CRISP is committed to trans- and interdisciplinary research frameworks and inquiry in a variety of languages and diverse cultural contexts. It combines expansive, historically informed notions of information, media, and data and critical approaches to media and technologies from different aesthetic and cultural traditions.
