at is “fake news?” How does it differ from “real” news; and how can
u ensure your own writing is accurate? This hybrid course blends
ssons in political philosophy, history and communications with
actical journalistic instruction ­to prepare the next generation
journalists to safeguard the truth—and their own careers—at a
me when press freedom is under unprecedented attack. Students
ll read excerpts and articles that address the importance of
eedom of speech and of the press, and explore past and present
reats to those freedoms, interpolating the readings with current
adline news. The texts range from the origins of our democracy
d Constitution to the rise of broadcast media, digital media and
e alt-right; from the First Amendment and Tocqueville’s vision
America to Watergate and the social-media assisted Russian hack
the 2016 election. Students will also read chapters from the
vels 1984, by George Orwell, and Bright Lights Big City, by Jay
Inerney, exploring how the fictional uses and abuses of the fact-
ecking profession reflect present realities; and they will receive
primer in how to fact check, using the methods of The New Yorker
gazine’s renowned checking department. Distinguished professional
ct checkers and media figures will visit the class to share their
pertise. The two-fold goal of the course is to deepen students’
derstanding of the power of fact in society, and to increase
eir ability to control the accuracy of their own work. (Strongly
commended for all Journalism+Design Majors and Minors)

BLIND SPOTS OF NYC: CAPITALISM AND EXCLUSION TAUGHT BY: BENOIT
CHALLAND
SECTION: AX
CRN: 7065
Credits: 4
This course is an experiment in applied historical sociology,
offering a journey through the history of racial and class exclusion
in New York City, from the colonial era to the end of the Civil
War. The course is co-taught by a leading artist and a professor
of Sociology at NSSR. Having taught classes on the making of global
capitalism through the history of sugar and cotton, Prof. Challand
approached artist Kamau Ware, author of a graphic novel on the
colonial period of NYC who also leads historical tours of the
city, about locating the legacy of these commodities that played an
important role in shaping the communitarian contours and the urban
landscape of colonial New York. The class alternates walking tours
in Lower Manhattan with classroom discussions, using a variety of
historical sources and secondary literature on the period running
between 1625 to 1880. This class, limited to 18 students, will
confront the absence of slavery’s memory in the New York City
landscape, architecture and monuments, and reflects on the connection
between class and race politics in the making of a leading trading
city such as New York. Students will be asked to write two essays
as part of the requirements, an argumentative essay on a political
issue of the these times, and a narrative essay, helping us to
recreate the contours of social life in historical NYC.
 Majors and minors
Academics

To pursue a liberal arts education is to explore a

spectrum of humanity’s greatest scholarly work
and inquiry. At Lang, we believe that exploration
requires academic freedom.
Choosing from a relevant and comprehensive list of majors
and minors gives you the flexibility to rethink disciplines
from unexpected angles. Once here, you’ll work together
with academic and faculty advisors to design a course of
study, either choosing from one of our majors or designing
your own. You have until the first semester of your junior
year to declare a major, so the opportunities to discover
new passions and explore new subjects are numerous,
helping to create a more holistic and forward-thinking
undergraduate path.
Eugene Lang College of Liberal Arts

A Well-Chosen Minor Gives You an Edge

Pursuing a minor gives you the opportunity to investigate
another subject you’re passionate about, gain specialized
knowledge that can help you advance toward your career
goals, and show the breadth of your interests if you apply
to graduate school. Many majors at Lang are also available
as minors, and students can choose from a list of university-
wide minors. Minors enable you to explore a range of topics
and enrich your studies for your major.

The First-Year Writing Program

Lang’s First-Year Writing Program introduces you to the
debate and dynamism at the heart of seminar learning.

The New School

Course offerings vary as widely as the faculty teaching
them: from environmentalism, travel writing, and
artificial intelligence to feminism, existentialism, and
activism (and beyond). Students typically take Writing the
Essay I and II in consecutive semesters in the first year.
These courses, organized on the workshop model, help
students develop confidence and conviction as writers.
Assignments include personal writing, cultural and literary
criticism, argumentative essays, and experimental writing,
emphasizing how to write convincing and compelling work
and setting a foundation for the production of research.

The First-Year Seminar

The first-year seminar is taught by a professor who serves
as your faculty advisor during your freshman year at Lang.
First-year seminars draw upon professors’ expertise in
particular areas and offer opportunities to engage in intense
discussions with your classmates and develop the skills to
grapple with challenging material and diverse perspectives.

and those credits transferred to Lang. But at Lang, there is no set path—
you get to create your own. Everything is in your hands. Aside from the first-
year writing program and first-year seminar, it’s very flexible.
What do you like about Lang’s seminar-style courses?
It feels good for a professor to actually know your name. Even my one
lecture class at Lang had only 50 students, as opposed to the bigger
schools, where lectures can have 100 or 200 kids in a classroom.
In the ideal seminar course, everyone contributes. Everyone gets a
chance to understand each other’s ideologies. People are curious and they
want to learn from you. If you care about the big picture and enjoy thinking
big thoughts, then Lang is the place to be.
Lily Yonglin chen
Lily Yonglin Chen is a Bachelor’s-Master’s student with a
full course load. She is on track to finish her undergraduate
studies and receive her master’s degree in just three and a
half years.
What stands out to you about going to college at Lang?
I feel like a lot of people are crushed by their undergrad experience, with all
the prerequisites—but there is no handbook of right and wrong at Lang. It all
comes down to how you want to spend your time. For example, I chose to
do a math class called Making Math and Art, and it’s honestly my favorite
class right now.
Lang allows you the opportunity to work on amazing projects and
collaborate with people in different fields or programs. You’re not stuck in a
small town—you’re in New York! And as a freshman, you take a first-year
seminar course to help ease you into the city.
How did the first-year seminar help you do that?
Well, through the seminar, you get connected with a peer fellow—
a student mentor who went through Lang and can speak about the school
from a personal perspective. It’s supposed to be someone who completely
understands what you’re going through and who teaches you things like
financial literacy and safety in the city.
The first-year seminar gives students time to develop independence
and accountability and find out what they’re passionate about, but I think
all of your time at Lang is about discovery. I want to go to law school after
this, so I am graduating in three and a half years with a master’s degree.

learning to the big questions and problems of our time.
You can study directly with activists, artists, policymakers,
and community leaders who co-teach courses with Lang
faculty through our Civic Liberal Arts program. Lang’s
Office of Civic Engagement and Social Justice offers civic
participation opportunities in which students can combine
their passion for social justice with academic work and
build community with other similarly dedicated minds.
And in addition to offering traditional internship and study
abroad opportunities, Lang provides a range of fellowships,
grants, and student conferences that support our students’
engagement with the world by combining research, theory,
and practice. These include:

Were you able to continue pursuing your interest in writing?
Even after I decided I wanted to be an IS major, I definitely didn’t want to let
go of my writing, so I continued to take poetry classes. For my senior thesis
in poetry, I’m writing about the connections between climate change and the
Mapuche.
In many traditional science labs that I visited during my time in
Argentina, the Mapuche perspective was completely ignored, because
science is traditionally taught in a vacuum. There was a huge lack of
interest from the scientists in speaking with the Mapuche and seeing how
they might combat climate change, a problem that was essentially being
caused by cultures outside of the Mapuche. My project is trying to bring
science out of the vacuum by putting it into poetry while also keeping a lot
of those scientific roots.
What’s it like to be able to explore the intersections of all your interests?
Before I came to Lang, I never even considered science and activism to be
so intertwined—but social justice is ingrained into Lang’s IS program in this
really amazing way.
For example, the chemistry courses are completely contextualized in
“the now.” Our final project for chemistry was studying what would be the
best energy portfolio for New York City. After learning all this information
throughout the entire semester, we had to apply it to the greater idea of
how it can actually be put into policy. The genetics courses are all centered
around human health and the fact that who you are is not entirely made
from your genes; your environment is also so important. Sometimes you
have to bring that social justice perspective to science yourself, and what’s
great about studying science here is that we are always encouraged to
bring in our own passions and perspectives.
 Marina Delgado
Marina Delgado is majoring in Interdisciplinary Science, with a minor
in Literary Studies, focusing on poetry. She traveled to Argentina on
the Mohn Family Science and Social Justice Fellowship. There she
investigated the effects of climate change on the ecosystem and
local indigenous communities.
How did you first get involved with Lang’s Interdisciplinary Science program?
When I started at Lang, I never wanted to take another science or math course
again. I really wanted to focus on literary studies and writing. But after
taking a class with Katayoun Chamany, the head of Lang’s Interdisciplinary
Science [IS] program, I fell in love with the idea of learning science in a
contextualized way. I went to public school, where science was mostly
memorization. But this was actual critical thinking in science—something
I had never experienced before.
What was your experience with the Mohn Family Science and Social
Justice Fellowship?
I was applying to a lot of science fellowships and looking at different science
internships. I discovered this opportunity in my home country, Argentina, to
study a tree that’s endangered because of climate change.
But I knew I wouldn’t be able to do it without extra funding, because I am
a low-income student. Thankfully, one of Katayoun’s former students helped
create a program, the Mohn Family Science and Social Justice Fellowship,
which is like the Lang Opportunity Awards but focused on the sciences.
I applied,was granted it, and went on to do the entire six-week experience
in Argentina, fully funded. It was incredible. My work ended up becoming
a lot more about the Mapuche, an indigenous group who live there in the area,
and how they’re affected by the loss of the tree.
Julian Apter
Julian Apter is a BA/BFA student studying both anthropology
at Lang and jazz guitar at the College of Performing Arts.
A recipient of the Lang Opportunity Award, he conducted
ethnomusicology research in Ghana that enabled him to explore
the connection between music and anthropology in Africa.

What first brought you to Lang?

The interdisciplinary aspect is pretty much what drew me to The New
School. The New School not only has a great jazz school at the College of
Performing Arts, it has a stellar faculty for anthropology and liberal arts.
Another great part is Lang’s Bachelor’s-Master’s program, where you begin
taking graduate-level classes during the senior year of your undergrad.
A lot of people tell me, “I could never do school for five years in a row, let
alone six.” I could. Not a problem for me. I think that whatever you do, if you
want to do it well, you really have to focus and get nerdy about it. And with
the BA/BFA, it’s difficult, because in some ways I have to compromise. I can
never practice as much as a jazz student who isn’t doing anthropology. But
they end up informing each other.

How does Lang help you balance your interdisciplinary interests?

The project I got funded through the Lang Opportunity Award program
is an intersection of both of my majors in a lot of ways. The project is
in Ghana, and I think I’m going to title it The Work of Art in the Age of
Digital Reproduction in Ghana. It’s basically looking at ethnomusicological
scholarship. There’s so much happening in Ghana and West Africa in
general—all of Africa, really—but there isn’t much scholarship on it.
 So I’ll be in Ghana this summer for a month, recording musicians and
publicizing them. I’ll be working with a label called Akwaaba, whose
mission is to bring these amazing musicians that are not on the Internet
online to diversify their revenue streams and enable them to gain agency
by entering global markets. The Lang Opportunity Award, which is like a
grant, will help me get there.

That’s fantastic. Is there anything else that stands out to you about
Lang’s education style?
We are in an interesting time. I think that generally the New School style
of education really makes a difference, in terms of critical thinking and
seminar-style classes. In thinking about what an education should do,
Lang is a lot closer than most institutions. Even if you go to one of those
so-called star schools, you’ll still wind up taking all these giant lecture
classes. It’s different at Lang—the seminar style works really well for me.
And I think in this modern society, it’s superimportant to be a critical
thinker and be informed by multiple frameworks of thought. I took an Intro
to Film class at Lang and did a music analysis of the score of Godard’s
1960 film Breathless. I argued that there’s all this feeling that you’ll
actually miss out on if you don’t pay attention to the music—the composer
was really drawing upon very hip innovations of the day in terms of
harmony and melody. It’s background music, which can be lost. The way
Lang and The New School allow for that interdisciplinary work never
ceases to amaze me.
Sabrina Wu
Sabrina Wu is a double major in Theater and in Culture and Media.
She is a student fellow in one of Lang’s Civic Liberal Arts courses,
which allow students to learn outside of the classroom and work
with nonfaculty professionals around New York City.

How did you decide on your focus of study?

My first few years as a student, I didn’t know what I wanted
to study. I don’t think anyone really has a plan going into
college—I didn’t. Lang helped me explore different areas and
home in on my interests. My year living on campus was
definitely part of that experience. My classes also incorporated
a lot of New York City into them, both historical aspects and
current events happening around the city. I was able to meet
people who were involved in organizations outside of school
and network like that. That was really helpful.

What kind of organizations have you been

involved with?
I was a student fellow in one of Lang’s Civic Liberal Arts
courses, called Scene Study: Prison Plays. The class was
done in partnership with The Fortune Society, an amazing
organization based in Long Island City, Queens. They offer
arts, theater, and writing programs for formerly incarcerated
individuals. The course is part acting class, part discussion
about prison conditions. We talk to guest speakers about
prison life and, using that information and knowledge, harness
it for our acting scenes.
 It’s really great that Lang is partnering with these
programs and also giving exposure to organizations and
using our resources in a way that promotes discussion, not
only in class but outside of class, of questions like, How can
we change the school-to-prison pipeline? I don’t hear about
many of these opportunities being offered anywhere else.

What is the Lang community like?

Lang has given me the space to really express myself.
Even the faculty are supportive of this—you develop great
relationships with faculty members and communities with
whom you have similar interests. The community at Lang
is really powerful.

Speaking of classes, how do you like the small seminar-style courses?
They were a huge draw for me, actually. I’m from a small town and the
idea of moving to New York was really overwhelming, but when I got here,
I was pleasantly surprised at the amount of intimacy in the classes. Also, I
think some of the closest connections I made at Lang were with professors.
They’re eager to help and willing to go outside the classroom with you,
especially with the Social Science Fellowship, which gave me peer-to-peer
mentoring that completely changed my education.
Can you tell me more about the Social Science Fellowship?
The fellowship provides funds for undergraduate students to do an
internship over the summer, giving you hands-on learning which you then
transfer into theory. You go from practice into theory and then create your
own research project in the style of a graduate or upper-level research
paper. It is a really amazing program.
I was lucky enough to do it twice, actually. The first year, I interned
with an environmentally focused start-up and then I looked into Citi Bike
as an extension of the sharing economy and wanted to understand the
social and environmental justice implications of that. The next time I did
it, I interned at Rockefeller & Company and then focused my research on
private investment and the interplay between the private sector and private
systems and the environment and social systems.
Before Lang, the idea of living in New York City and finding a career
felt completely inaccessible. But Lang offered me so many opportunities
and resources. Every opportunity I’ve participated in, from internships to
international travel to doing funded research, has all come from the school.
The opportunities are everywhere at Lang—you just have to try them and
see what happens.
Irie Ewers
Irie Ewers is majoring in Environmental Studies and minoring
in Economics. A two-time recipient of Lang’s Social Science
Fellowship, she has traveled to Argentina, completed two
internships, and conducted funded research during her
time in college. Somehow she also found time to adopt a
dachshund puppy.
What first drew you to Lang?
I was interested in the first-year immersion program [now the Global Immersion
Program] and Lang itself, not even realizing they were connected until I went
to apply to both of them. When I found out they were the same, my decision
was made.
Lang’s study abroad program offered experiential, in-the-field education.
I was also drawn to the Environmental Studies program from the beginning,
because I really liked the foundations of science that Lang offered.
What’s it like pursuing environmental studies in a big
city like New York?
Obviously, being in New York City seems kind of like a contrast—studying
the environment while being in an urban center. I wanted to understand
that interplay and study the urban systems, since an urban system is still
part of the environment.
Plus, in terms of applicable, real-life skills, New York City really pushes
you to develop your personal attributes as well as your career path very
early on. I’ve had 12 different jobs, from cleaning floors to working at
Rockefeller Center. The city really becomes your classroom.
When did you start thinking about developing your own solo show?
When I came back to New York, I went to Zishan and said, “I want
to do this solo performance.” She said, “Great, let’s build it together!”
She became my independent study senior thesis advisor, and we
worked together for the next few months to put together the show.
What’s so special about Lang is that your relationship with
professors is so intimate. I love all my professors; I really do. You
are building relationships with artists who have their own careers
outside of teaching. They may have their own practices, but in my
experience, teaching isn’t secondary on their list of priorities. It’s not
like “I’m this first, and then I’m a teacher”—they care so much. Zishan
even directed my solo show.
In what ways have your experiences at Lang changed you?
Before I got to Lang, I was used to quizzes and tests every day as
the measure of knowledge. But Lang judges you based on how you
think. I had a really hard time unlearning things about my own
identity and my own internalized racism, sexism, and my biases. It’s
a constant unlearning, but I think Lang has allowed room for that
kind of messiness.
The people at Lang and in my community have given me a
lot of love and patience, and that’s how I was able to create my
performance. That sounds so cheesy, but as Zishan says, “Why not
be cheesy?”
Yu ling wu
Yu Ling Wu was a BA/BFA student majoring in Theater at
Lang and Integrated Design at Parsons. She traveled to
Scotland, Colombia, and Berlin through Lang’s Study Abroad
program. Yu Ling began developing her own solo show while
in Berlin with Lang theater professor Zishan Ugurlu and went
on to write and perform the finished product, The Mom, the
Dad & the Holy Spirit, as her senior work. Yu Ling was also
the 2018 New School Commencement student speaker.
Tell us a bit about your study abroad experience.
Before my junior year, I decided I wanted to go to Edinburgh to take part in
a two-week study abroad program at the Fringe Festival. It sounded like a
really cool way to experience a huge theater festival in a different context.
Through Lang, I applied for a Lang Opportunity Award, and was able to go
on a full ride.
That’s great. What other programs have you discovered at Lang?
I also went to Colombia with the Gural Scholars, a scholarship program in
which students work together in a cohort and learn about social justice and
civic engagement in a different context every year. The junior year is supposed
to be in an international context, so we took a look at Colombia, because
our professor said there were many parallels between the Bronx in New York
and Colombia. It was a difficult trip, looking at politics outside of the U.S. and
our role in so many countries, but it was a valuable experience I will never forget.
Later I studied abroad in Berlin and fell in love with the theater there. I
saw a show every day, all thanks to Lang grants and scholarships. Lang has
been so supportive.
 newschool.edu/lang/faculty
Lang’s cultural relevance, commitment to academic
freedom, New York City campus, and position as
part of The New School all attract faculty who turn
classroom theory into world engagement. These
forward-thinking educators are also practitioners
out in the field, global leaders deeply connected
to organizations and industries addressing some
of today’s most pressing issues. Many of our
faculty are integral members of the university
community, some jointly appointed at Lang and
The New School for Social Research. Lang students
also benefit from close relationships with faculty;
this interaction enriches students’ scholarship and
understanding of the world.

DEAN BROWNER
Dean Stephanie Browner’s third-floor office provides a rare vantage
point on Lang and The New School: the bustling courtyard below; the
Skybridge, where students both create and curate art each semester; and
The New School’s original 12th Street building. Dean Browner spoke with
us about her research, Lang’s engaged approach to theoretical discourse,
and the university mission that brought her here.
What drew you to Lang?
Well, I originally found out about The New
School because my mom—both my parents were
immigrants—read anything she could get her hands
on that had a progressive take on art or politics.
She didn’t go to college until after she had children,
but books by Hannah Arendt and others associated
with The New School were everywhere in our house.
So I knew about the university’s values, and its
Eugene Lang College of Liberal Arts
commitments to being in and of New York City, and
being intellectually progressive—not just superficially,
but deeply intellectual and serious. I have a history
of working in small liberal arts colleges, and that,
combined with The New School’s mission, drew me
to Lang.
42
“Intellectually progressive”—can you expand on that?
Yes. People think higher education is liberal or
progressive, because the students tend to skew that
way. But actually, higher education can be quite
stodgy and traditional. An ivory tower can be a very
conservative place, and not actually open to the ideas
of people who haven’t traditionally been admitted.
What kind of student thrives at Lang?
I think Lang students in general have a voice far
earlier and far stronger than most college students.
Visiting professor and author Mary Gaitskill told me
this my first year here. They tend to have a sense of
purpose, or at the very least a habit of independent
thought. They don’t ask, “What’s going to be on
the exam?” Many hone this voice through writing,
through creative work, through activism. I like that
those who are activists do so both outside the
university and within. They speak up at university
events. Often, even in the middle of the Lang
Academic Awards, students use their moment at the
microphone to speak truth to power. We honor that
kind of fierce individuality and independence.
How is the curriculum at Lang unique?
I feel that our students aren’t just here for the
cultural capital of being able to say, “Oh, I read
Marx” or “I read Lolita” or “I read Aristotle.”
You’ll read all those things here, but it’s because
these writers and these ideas are powerful and
relevant. Class discussions are not competitive or
oneupmanship environments. The classroom is
where we open up questions and really interrogate
ourselves and the world, our thoughts and what
other people are thinking.
When I first came to Lang, we designed and
started offering 20 Civic Liberal Arts courses each
year that our faculty co-teach with partners from
outside of the academy, such as a curator from the
Whitney Museum of American Art and an editor
from the New York Times. These “outsiders” are
there in the classroom, designing courses with
professors. They’re thrilled to be teaching at The
New School, and students are doing work that is
very important to people outside the academy.

Is there any specific programming that supports
Lang’s commitment to civic liberal arts?
Lots! The most popular program in recent years
has been the bell hooks residency at Lang. Bell and
I have been colleagues for years, first getting to
know each other in Kentucky. We’ve brought her to
The New School four times, I believe. The first time,
people waited more than an hour in a line that went
down Fifth Avenue in order to hear her talk with
Melissa Harris-Perry. Each residency, she has had
conversations with a wide range of people—Laverne
Cox, Eve Ensler, Samuel Delany, Janet Mock, Cornel
West, etc. These are on YouTube and are still very
popular and important. She never stops thinking
critically and always finds pleasure and humor in
her dialogues with others.
What new areas are students at Lang exploring
these days?
We began the Journalism + Design program a few
years ago. It prepares students to be journalists of
all kinds and to help shape a sector that is of critical
importance to democracy and in radical disruption
right now.
We’re also exploring what it would mean to
offer courses in “coding and liberal arts.” Technology
is a part of our lives, and we are beginning to grasp
the impact of social media, data, and algorithms
in almost everything, from private conversations
to national elections. Reading and writing have
long been core to a liberal arts education. Perhaps
technology is a third strand that should be woven
into what we offer at Lang. I’m not sure what it will
New York City
become, but we already have classes that integrate
The New School
critical thinking and coding, and we have new faculty.
As far as we can tell, we may be the only school
that’s exploring this topic right now.
Outside of being Lang’s dean, you’re also a faculty
member. What are you teaching this term?
I love to talk about what I’m teaching, because it’s
important to me. I can’t be a good dean if I’m not in
the classroom. My background is in American and
African-American literature, so I’ve taught those
courses, but I’ve also taught a freshman seminar.
In my 19th- and 20th-century American literature
class, we begin with Walt Whitman and Herman
Melville, then on to Harriet Jacobs, who wrote a
slave narrative and hid in her grandmother’s attic for
seven years to avoid a predatory white slave owner.
We’ll eventually end up with Langston Hughes and
Marianne Moore.
What was behind your decision to play so many
roles on campus?
I get to know the college through student eyes that
way. It’s really easy to think you know the college
when you’re the dean, but I don’t know it any better
than my students do, and if I don’t stay in touch, I’ll
be oblivious to their needs. Being an advisor also
requires that I know the curriculum from the student
perspective and to spend time in conversation with
one student at a time.
But this is why we’re here—to change lives
one at a time. It’s about human learning and the
43
relationships that nurture learning, for them and for
me. It keeps me happy.

Lang courses often bring together different perspectives

in provocative ways. Is that true of your courses?
That certainly is true of a new course I’m teaching called
Publishing Life. It’s actually part of a grant that Lang got
from the Mellon Foundation. In the course, students and
I collaborate with Verso Books, a preeminent left-leaning
American press. Verso publishes a lot of New School
authors—it’s respected and world renowned.
Eugene Lang College of Liberal Arts

In class, we investigate the work of theorists embedded

in a Marxist framework and self-help authors—writings
in two totally different genres. The premise is that the
two groups of authors are actually taking on very similar
questions, like, How do we lead a “meaningful life”? and
What is the philosophically coherent way to be a smart
consumer and/or producer of these kinds of genres?

What are the benefits of Lang’s approach to small

seminar courses?
I’ve had some of the same students in five or six classes.
So one benefit of Lang’s small seminars is the fact that
students are able to come back to the same professor in
their department, be familiar with him or her, and expand
on ideas developed previously. There are 18 people in the
room, max—so everyone involved is going to come into the
class already having some type of relationship.
But Lang seminars also bring the classroom out into
the world. I always say to my students, “My most profound
hope is that our academic work will actually shape your
understanding of your own experiences. These texts should
really bump up against your identity and who you think
you are in the world.”
So it’s not just that the students and I get to be buddy-
buddy. Lang seminars involve community-based projects
that are great opportunities to enhance the academic
dimension through a more 360-degree kind of engagement.

David
Bering-Porter
Assistant Professor of Culture and Media

How does your research influence the courses you teach?

My research is on the mediated body—in other words,
how the body works as a medium or a canvas that reflects
and informs your relationship to the world. So my courses
reflect that interest. In Race and Digital Media, we were
trying to think about how race functions as a technology
within our society, understanding not only how people of
color and certain ethnic minorities interact with technology,
but also that race itself is a construct that has a societal
function—it works like a cultural mechanism of identity,
oppression, privilege, etc. We’re really trying to push

The New School

through some complicated theoretical ideas in class.

Why is Lang the right college to investigate these ideas?

Knowledge doesn’t pertain to one discipline at a time. I
think that Lang has been a particularly fruitful institution
for looking at the body, race, identity, culture, and media
because of how it allows students from a wide variety of
disciplines, a wide variety of backgrounds, to come into
this space and have conversations about interconnected
networks of knowledge.
We come at our work in class from a wide variety of
angles. I naturally have a lot of Culture and Media students.
But I’ve also had students from across the university take
my courses, including several from Parsons’ Fashion Design
program, which has been really fun in terms of process.
They bring an interesting aesthetic sense to the creative
and design-oriented projects in my classes, and I’m looking
forward to having that kind of aesthetic sense in the class
on data visualization that I’m teaching next semester.

Deva Woodly and

Austin Ochoa ’18
Eugene Lang College of Liberal Arts

Deva Woodly is an associate professor of politics at Lang. Her work

in and outside of the classroom focuses on political communication,
social movements, and public opinion and behavior. She was the Senior
Capstone faculty advisor to Austin Ochoa, BA Politics ’18. We spoke
with them about Austin’s project and Deva’s pivotal guidance during
his research.

Interviewer:  Deva, can you tell us a little about
what you’re teaching this semester?
Deva:  Right now, I’m teaching a class called Becoming
Generation Citizen, which is a really cool Civic Liberal
Arts class, supported by a Mellon grant. It allows us
to work with an outside organization, a nonprofit
called Generation Citizen. The organization trains our
students to guide high school students through a civic
action, from research through the implementation of
some change, whether that’s gathering information
that wasn’t previously known, contacting a public
official, or seeking new legislation.
Interviewer:  So you’re sort of creating an
ecosystem of civic engagement.
Each student does an independent research project,
and then we collect those research projects into a
journal called UnderPol. Not only do the students
create the scholarly content, but they do the artistic
direction and layout design.
Interviewer:  Austin, what type of project are you
doing for your capstone?
Austin:  I have a particular interest in constitutional
law and criminal law, so, for my senior thesis I
wanted to bring together everything I’ve learned
in the past three or four years at Lang—the Bill of
Rights; the rights of the accused; the Fourth, Fifth,
and Sixth Amendments; and the history behind
those rights and those who have them.

Deva:  Yes, one that consists of political and civic Interviewer:  Students at Lang often take theory

also teach the Senior Capstone, which Austin is in. Have you had any similar experiences outside of Lang?
Austin:  Yes. Last year I got a job with a criminal
court judge here in Manhattan, so every day I was
seeing the constitutional amendments I’d been
learning about in the classroom, their histories, their
political implications, all at work in the courtroom.
I saw human rights come into play, making the
process more fair and equal for all involved, like
Mapp v. Ohio. All these concepts are being played
out in the courtroom every single day, and it’s kind
of cool to have that broad perspective on it. It helped
me learn that one of the greatest things about the
U.S. Constitution is its ability to fix itself—to right its
own wrongs.
Interviewer:  And how has Deva influenced your
research for your senior capstone?
Austin:  Oh, she’s been monumental in broadening
my perspective on my paper. Specifically, I’m very
attracted to case law and legal jargon and I often
get kind of lost in it. Deva’s helped me ask, “What
are the cultural implications of Mapp v. Ohio in
1961, and how did that transform courtrooms all
across the country?” Deva’s really done a great job
at opening my eyes and pointing me in the direction
of how to uncover those implications.
Deva:  Now, it should be said that Austin started out
a very good writer and a very analytical mind. But
his fascination and talent are for the details of the
law. So, I think that my main goal this semester has
been to broaden his view, to say, “This is what the
law is, but how does that affect practice?” And over
New York City
the course of the drafts we do to develop the theses,
you see students and their perspectives blossom on
the page.
But with every student I start by saying, “You
have a topic that you really care about. How do
we make this a research paper—a truly intellectual
endeavor?”
Austin:  Big-time. A lot of my classmates have had
the same kind of experience with Deva’s direction.
Friends of mine in the Becoming Generation Citizen
course love the work they’re doing. They’re a pretty
sharp group.
Interviewer:  Specifically, what do they say?
Austin:  That it’s an experience.
Deva:  That’s the word on the street?
Austin: Yep.
Deva:  Haha.
Austin:  But that “experience” is the reason I came
to this school—being able to have my finger on the
pulse of our culture, of our generation. It’s really
embodied at The New School, and specifically at
Lang, in terms of what our generation stands for.
Deva:  And what do you think your generation
stands for?
Austin:  So many things: progress, equality. But for
anyone interested in the work our generation is doing,

I’d say come to a seminar at Lang—you’ll find out.

Allison Lichter Joseph

Assistant Professor of Journalism + Design and former Deputy Emerging
Media Editor at the Wall Street Journal

Lang students are known for integrating thoughtful

inquiry with real-world collaborative action. How does
your teaching help students do that?
Lang has a tradition of rigorous scholarly study and a deep
appreciation of professional careers, and that enriches
our students’ experiences. I’m a good fit here because
of that. After working at WNYC radio for nine years, I
joined the Wall Street Journal as an online features editor
Eugene Lang College of Liberal Arts

and eventually joined what was then called the Social

Media desk. This was when many people at the Journal
questioned what social media could do. I translated
between two worlds, traditional journalists and digital
readers, and our team experimented to see what worked
and what didn’t.
As an instructor, I see an opportunity to impart what
I’ve learned to future journalists. Most important, I want
my students to be great collaborators. Collaboration and
trust are essential for newsrooms to keep pace with
changing technology and audience needs. Our students
need to know how to build relationships and solve
problems in effective ways.

How is NYC a resource for students?

We help students connect with important people in the
news business. For example, this past semester, both the
standards editor and the deputy general counsel for the
New York Times visited a class taught by a longtime
NYT reporter, Mireya Navarro. They discussed real news,
fake news, and what the truth means today. Students
heard firsthand the lengths a major news agency goes
to to build the trust of its readership. They engaged in
conversation that inspired them to become better
researchers and analysts able to report with integrity.
The fact that we’re bringing in so many outside
professionals from institutions like ProPublica, the New
Yorker, and Vox means that our students are constantly
interacting with frontline news makers who are also
potential future employers.

Katayoun Chamany
Mohn Family Professor of Natural Sciences and Mathematics

At Lang, critical thinking is considered an important skill

for engaged citizens. How do you help Lang students
develop this capacity through your work in science?
Our program investigates the dynamic interplay between
human health and the environment (natural, built, and
social) in an effort to simultaneously promote scientific
innovation and socially just practices. Our courses showcase
how science can be an active participant in change, not just
a neutral discourse of facts and equations. For example, in a
recent senior seminar, students focused on energy resources
and planetary health by facing the very real challenge of

The New School

whether nuclear energy should be subsidized by taxes and
be included in New York State’s energy portfolio. Students
took on the roles of real stakeholders, such as CEOs, mayors,
scientists, nuclear regulators, public health researchers, and
representatives of Native American populations and realized
how multilayered and complex energy policy can be. After
the project, many students said that they had a much more
informed and nuanced stance on the issue.
Our students are invested in problem solving and
social change, so they need to learn how to negotiate,
compromise, and shape health and environmental policy
and practice when their values differ from others’. These are
important skills that we teach in addition to the concrete,
scientific content, principles, and data analysis skills.

What are the benefits of Lang’s small seminar courses?

My freshman seminar course Biology, Art, and Social
Justice integrates art with labs. One module that has
gained much attention is focused on painting with bacteria.
Here, students apply what they have learned in the course
to curate their own artistic design in a Petri dish and
present their work alongside a design statement. From this
experience they begin to see the similarities and differences
between the scientific method and the art/design process,
the role that genes and environment play in ecosystem
dynamics, and the parallels that can be drawn between
bacterial colonization and settler colonialism.

Interviewer:  Jasveen, what prompted you to take
Shanelle’s class?
Jasveen:  I got an email! I’m an Ethnicity and
Race minor, and I got an email from Lang’s Civic
Engagement and Social Justice office about the class
with Shanelle—I immediately jumped on it. It’s my
last semester, and I thought it would be an honor to
be in a class with her.
Interviewer:  And has it been?
Jasveen:  Definitely. I got exactly what I expected.
A lot of times things in academia can seem so
theoretical, and so a little hopeless, but having an
activist like Shanelle teach your class, someone who
is working from a much more real-world, real-
experience framework, is so valuable.
And It’s been so helpful that the group in our
class has bonded a lot. We went to Harlem to the

got breakfast together. It was a really beautiful
bonding experience that informed our work. I think

learning so much from them about what it means
to organize on campus in 2018. All of this led to
really productive conversations in the classroom
and building communication and shared strategies

Interviewer:  And what kind of student projects are
sparked from these conversations?
Shanelle:  I’ll admit, I was bursting at the seams to
talk about communications and its role in social
movements because it’s what I believe in most
intensely and the area to which I’ve committed
my life, but alas, I’ll save that for a future course
(wink, wink). The curriculum I developed for this
course delves into resistance strategies starting
in the 1960s, which was the start of the Student
Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, through
today’s Movement for Black Lives. We discussed
what it meant for Ella Baker, as a black woman
organizer, to lead and her role living in the shadow
of Dr. Martin Luther King, and how that compares to
today’s Black Lives Matter Global Network, which
is led by queer Black women. We talked a lot about
organizing both then and now—and how important
it is to paint a prophetic vision for the future.

I went to a state school, and there the ratio of
students to faculty was like 50 to one. Having a
small class gave us space to talk intimately and at
length about barriers to achieving social justice, how
we are impacted by the same kind of oppression we
read about, and what our dreams are for the future.
We spent a lot of time talking about what it means
to be a student of color here at The New School,
where students of color are the minority, and what
it means to be a person of color in the world, too. It
was a meaningful conversation to have, given the
current political conditions and because it’s never
a wrong time to talk about being a person of color
in America.

Student Life and Community

University housing at The New School provides more than just a place to
sleep: It’s a vibrant gathering place for a diverse community of students
from different schools and disciplines. Design students live across the
hall from poets and musicians, and encounters with neighbors can lead
to thrilling creative discoveries. Resident advisors and staff will help you
make a smooth transition into Greenwich Village, a center of the arts
hosting theaters, museums, and galleries that are just a short walk away.

Tina Holmes ’18, Resident Advisor

Moving on her own to New York City was scary for Tina
Holmes, a resident advisor (RA) at the Kerrey Hall residence.
But in her freshman year, she quickly made a best friend
Eugene Lang College of Liberal Arts

in her residence hall. “If you have a hard time getting

acclimated to New York, you have 500 people who are
going through the same thing,” Tina says.
Across hallways, students from different disciplines
mingle and uncover unexpected interests—it was one of
Tina’s roommates who inspired her to pursue her dual
degree, adding a self-designed Liberal Arts major focusing
on psychology at Lang to her Communication Design major
at Parsons School of Design. Living in the residence hall
“makes it very convenient to get involved.” It means easy
access to the academic resources of the university, the rich
cultural and artistic playground of Greenwich Village, and
the city itself, with its movie theaters and museums, parks
and rivers.
After working as an office assistant and getting to know
the community around her building, Tina decided to become
an RA. “Being an RA at The New School is being the best
version of yourself, being a good example whenever you can
and bringing those tools to whatever you do,” Tina says. She
learned to stay calm in crises, to communicate better, and
to “listen to every side of the story,” just as the RA she had
in her freshman year did for her.

A Parent’s
perspective

When Patricia visited Eugene Lang College of

Liberal Arts for the first time with her daughter
Micah, she knew immediately that Micah had found
the right place. “I still get a little emotional when
I think about seeing her at the University Center,
seeing the energy that it called from her,” Patricia
says. Micah had been looking for an unconventional
educational learning environment, a place that
allowed for deep and broad study.
“As a parent, I think it is important to allow
the student to own their experience and select an
environment that is best suited for them to learn
and grow,” Patricia says. “Micah did not want a
large lecture hall where students could disappear.
She wanted the challenge of a place where all of the
students wanted to participate.”
At Lang, she found small seminar-style classes
with students who are “curious, serious, and
passionate”; professors who are practitioners in
their fields; and mentors who engage and challenge
students and encourage them to turn new ideas
into action. “The excitement from the other students
is contagious,” Patricia says. Micah has found her
community, both in and outside of the school.
Lang has also challenged Micah to become a
different kind of learner. “Micah takes greater risks and
speaks up in class more consistently. She’s learning to
question and openly evolve in the classroom,” Patricia
says. “I see the transformation in my daughter at
Lang. I see someone who is well supported and well
equipped to pursue her passions.”

Student Life and Community
Housing isn’t just four walls and a roof. It’s
an opportunity to form bonds, ease the
transition from home to college, learn to

friends for life. Our four residences extend
from Greenwich Village to Chelsea and offer
students a nurturing, supportive environment
as well as many social, educational, and
cultural activities. For more information,

Lindsey Holder is the assistant director of Lang Advising, where she
handles a range of services, including helping students in their search for
internships and careers post-graduation. She talks with us about how
your career trajectory should be as carefully tailored as your education
and why she believes a liberal arts degree from Lang can prepare you to
thrive in today’s evolving job market.
