HN: good interdisciplinary MS/PhD programs for tech/culture?

Curious to know if any HN readers have programs (academic or otherwise) on their radars that integrate cultural issues with engineering, experimentation, hands-on kinds of stuff.

I'm thinking of something similar to MIT's media lab: http://www.media.mit.edu/research/groups-projects

I have a weird background (ex-Army intel, classics & international affairs degrees) but have been getting into learning about coding more, fully knowing I'll never be much of a coder or engineer, and wanting to experiment more. But I do want to play with stuff and build more products than do analysis the rest of my life, which is what I'm in danger of being lured into while I'm in DC.

What are you folks keeping your eyes on?
