Black nationalism has proved to be a powerful organizing concept uniting much of the global Black diaspora. This course examines the multiple rhetorical strands of black nationalism, from religious, cultural, and political organizing themes to more tangible manifestations, such as experiments in Black resettlement and other forms of social activism. Key topics include the Black Atlantic, the “Back to Africa” movements of the 19th-century Caribbean and the United States, and the intersection of Black nationalism and Black Power. Key figures discussed include Olaudah Equiano, Paul Cuffe, John Russwurm, Martin Delany, Henry McNeal Turner, W.E.B. Du Bois, Alexander Crummell, Marcus Garvey, Wallace Fard Muhammad, Kwame Nkrumah, and Malcolm X. (3 credits)

Feminist legal history is driven by a commitment to understanding women’s legal agency and the ways women have used the law for individual and societal benefit. In this course, we examine how the legal system has shaped the evolution of women’s rights through case law, statutes, and policies. We look at landmark cases establishing women’s legal rights: accounts of the litigants involved, the historical context that shaped them, the strategies used, and theoretical implications. We also study issues of broad concern to women— reproductive freedom, the workplace, the family, domestic violence, rape— through the lens of history and constitutional law.

This course is an overview of contemporary international issues that shape society on a daily basis. As the world becomes more and more fully integrated, communities become global in scope and we, as both observers and participants, are faced with the challenge of grasping complex issues of international politics and law. Understanding these issues has never been more important, but headlines and news bulletins often do not provide enough background information to enable readers and viewers to comprehend and analyze factors underlying the latest crises or to imagine ways to address them.

Students learn to engage in close examination of these issues and to discuss them in a constructive manner. After a unit on conducting foreign policy analysis, we focus on major global issues, divided into three broad categories: conflict, security, and terrorism; globalization and the international economy; and international human rights and justice. The class attempts not only to understand these problems but also to develop solutions, which are then presented in a peer group setting. Through lectures and visual presentations, students learn about important geographical and geostrategic factors contributing to the political crises to be examined. (3 credits)

What happens when media, in all their diverse forms, take on the issues of health and social change? We examine the way health and media are both constructed from and interpreted within cultural settings. Focusing on examples from television, film, and new media, we discuss a range of illness narratives, including ones involving eating disorders, cancer, depression, and AIDS. We explore questions central to medical anthropology and the anthropology of media, such as: How is medical knowledge produced and understood? What is the relationship between the real and the virtual when online communities spill off-line and vice versa? How does social context influence conceptions of risk, crisis, and hope? Do different media cultures produce different articulations of disease? Students learn to consider biological phenomena from a cultural perspective, with special attention given to the way they are reinforced or countered by media. The class also looks at the use of public space to discuss medical views of illness. In the process, we explore social, historical, and cultural views of media as an avenue for social change. (3 credits)

This class introduces theories of personality through readings of primary texts by major theorists. We begin by examining the groundbreaking research of Sigmund Freud and his theory of personality development and the unconscious. We then read modern Freudians, from John Bowlby and Margaret Mahler to Erik Erikson and Heinz Kohut. We look at Melanie Klein and the British Middle Group, particularly Donald Winnicott. We consider interpersonal and relational theories that stress not only the inner mind but the interactional self. We conclude with current research from feminism, sociology, and genetics. Throughout, we discuss personality as an intersection of factors including subjectivity, biological inheritance, personal history, and culture. We question the idea of a “normal” personality and study the way each theorist defines the abnormal or pathological. We also draw on cultural and clinical texts to illuminate these theories and the relevance of psychoanalysis to art and other cultural practices. (3 credits) Cross-Cultural Psychology NPSY3345 A 9 weeks, June 2 thru Aug. 1. Noncredit tuition $650.

ONLINE

Instructor to be announced

Traditional theories of psychology, developed primarily by Western Europeans and North Americans, are based on the unexamined assumption that all human behavior can be explained through a single worldview. However, recent research has demonstrated that despite certain universals among human societies, norms in non-Western societies sometimes differ from those in Western Europe and North America. In this course, students learn to make distinctions between behaviors exhibited by all humans, like the use of language, and culturally determined behaviors. To that end, the class explores the influence of culture on perception, cognition, education, individual and social behavior, expressions of physical and mental illnesses, and selfperception. (3 credits) Abnormal Psychology NPSY3501 A 15 sessions. Mon. & Wed., 6:00–7:50 p.m., beg. June 2.

Noncredit tuition $650.

Instructor to be announced

Using a multitheoretical model of psychopathology, students explore basic contemporary and historical conceptions of abnormal behavior. They are introduced to the current classification system of mental disorders, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM-V), and consider its strengths and weaknesses in an increasingly complex field. Psychodynamic, cognitive, humanistic, and sociocultural approaches to major Axis I and Axis II disorders are presented. Students employ critical thinking as they examine current controversies over classification, assessment, and treatment of mental illness. (3 credits)

You can register for most courses for either noncredit or general credit status. The noncredit tuition is listed as part of the course description. General credit tuition for courses in this catalog is $1,170 per credit. For information about registration options, see pages 38–39.

The first few decades of the 20th century saw dramatic changes in the physical and social landscape of New York City, including the digging of subway tunnels, the construction of skyscrapers, and waves of immigration. Many American artists asserted their modernity with paintings, photographs, and experimental films that chronicled these changes in the urban environment.

This course examines New York cityscapes and street scenes by the Ashcan School, members of the Stieglitz circle, the Precisionists, Social Realists, and artists associated with the Harlem Renaissance. An institutional context frames this survey of modern American art, including discussion of the watershed Armory Show of 1913 and the founding of MoMA and the Whitney Museum circa 1930. (3 credits)

Great works of art, literature, and music, along with profound philosophical thought, have the capacity to bridge ages, languages, and cultures. The study of cultural works in the context of their own time and place, as well as ours, is the cornerstone of a liberal arts education. It provides crucial fuel for artists, writers, musicians, and thinkers of all kinds, and it helps develop the kinds of skills—critical reading, attention to detail, and analytic writing—that are useful in all walks of life.

This course traces the history of the music video from the early 1980s to the present, exploring the connections and interrelations between culture, film and television, and music. We explore and analyze techniques such as the use of editing to create a visual landscape and reinforce the rhythm or form of the music. We survey video genres and the use of setting to trigger cultural associations in listeners, such as outdoor settings in hip-hop videos, as in Lauryn Hill’s “Doo-Wop (That Thing),” and fantasy settings in pop videos, as in Duran Duran’s “Wild Boys.” We discuss sexuality, gender, and ethnicity and look at how their portrayal has changed over time, to bring us Lady Gaga’s “Judas” and Ricky Martin’s “Livin’ La Vida Loca.” (3 credits)

Conversation-based programming creates opportunities for strangers to become neighbors and for neighbors to shape communities. This course, offered in partnership with the New York Council for the Humanities, invites students to create these kinds of conversations, primarily by using literature.

We read and debate a wide range of texts that explore the roles of community members, volunteers, activists, and nonprofit professionals and consider what it means to discuss controversial ideas with a broad, diverse public.

Students learn how to design ways for the public to participate by facilitating conversations that build community and help participants think critically about ideas that matter to everyone. We take an in-depth look at methods for developing effective discussion questions, best practices for connecting with participants and managing the flow of conversation, and ways conversationbased programs can build and strengthen civic engagement and public discourse. Students also conduct research on potential audiences for such discussions and design materials for use in public settings across New York City. (3 credits) Emily Dickinson NLIT3324 A 5 sessions.

Andrew Rubenfeld

Radical in her own time, still relevant today, Emily Dickinson’s poetry probes universal themes such as love, death, society, nature, and God. Her style is deeply personal, sometimes enigmatic, always innovative—yet surprisingly accessible. This course, an introduction to her poetry, considers topics including Dickinson’s metrical debt to hymns, her relationship to transcendentalist philosophy, the use of various literary masks, feminist approaches to gender, and the nature of the creative impulse itself. Dickinson explores not just American life but the cosmos itself from the vantage point of mid-19th-century Amherst, Massachusetts. An investigation of Dickinson’s correspondence reveals the indistinct line between lyric and letter, each telling the truth, but, in her own words, telling it “slant.” (1 credit) Nineteenth-Century Novels and Movies NLIT3880 A 9 weeks, June 2 thru Aug 1.

Abigail Bloom

Great novelists are able to see beyond the limitations of their own society, to glimpse the realities beneath the surface and draw out the psychological depths of their characters. Is this subtlety of penetration lost in the transition from the printed page to the screen? Does the quest for popularity demand alteration of the original? Or does translating a novel into a movie in a different era give it new depth? Through analysis of the choices made in creating adaptations, deeper levels of the novel and the film emerge, revealing the richness and depth of both art forms. We read three classic novels (Jane Austen’s Emma, Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights, and Charles Dickens’ Great Expectations) and consider how they have been changed, envisioned, and enlivened by filmmakers. (Films are not posted online; students must arrange to view the films on their own.) (3 credits)

Margaret Boe Birns

On the Nature of Free Will NPHI3545

This course examines the work of three extraordinary and original authors whose enchanting stories teach people of all ages much about life, the imagination, and the mysteries of the human heart. Employing a double articulation that reaches both child and adult, these authors wrote fantasies that, like dreams, take us beyond the conventional idiom of ordinary reality into worlds of wonder and that allow us to explore deep-rooted wishes, needs, and fears. We examine how each of these highly sensitive authors confounded the categories that license sexual normality, valued the eccentric and the singular over the conventional and the standardized, and promoted the development of social consciousness through either satire or social criticism. Each author employed fantasy in a revolutionary way, as a means of countering an overly puritanical, utilitarian mentality that tended to be deeply suspicious of the imagination; and, because all wonder tales depend on the experience of the miraculous, their stories are a vehicle for spiritual exploration as well. We read a selection of innovative tales by Hans Christian Andersen, Lewis Carroll’s brilliant Alice in Wonderland, and Oscar Wilde’s strange and beautiful fairy tales as well as his ambiguous morality tale The Picture of Dorian Gray.

Margaret Boe Birns

This course focuses on challenging works by three of the greatest authors of the 20th century, each a major force in the cultural awakening we call the modernist movement in literature. We begin with James Joyce’s groundbreaking experimental novel Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, in which he transforms his suffocating Dublin boyhood into a symbol for the struggle of young modern artists everywhere. We then turn to Virginia Woolf ’s To The Lighthouse and Mrs. Dalloway, each a metaphysical and psychological journey taken within the context of daily life. Last we read William Faulkner’s The Sound and The Fury, a narrative rooted in the American South but reflecting the universal landscapes of the human soul, and The Reivers, a novel that weaves together rascality and wisdom. We also view major screen adaptations of “The Dead” from Dubliners, The Reivers, and Mrs. Dalloway. (3 credits) The American Short Story NLIT3364 A 9 weeks, June 2 thru Aug. 1. Noncredit tuition $650.

Nicholas Birns

It has long been observed that the short story, in its brevity and sense of implied significance, is more like a poem than a novel. Readers who feel overwhelmed by the all-embracing quality of a long novel find the enigmas posed by short stories a more satisfying literary experience. How is a short story not just shorter but fundamentally different from a novel? How, therefore, do we read it differently? Reading 20th-century American short stories gives us access to some of our greatest writers, from Ernest Hemingway, James Baldwin, and Willa Cather to Ursula K. Le Guin and Tillie Olsen. It also provides an opportunity to sample the cultural and geographical diversity of the United States. Tracing the changes in style and subject matter elucidates the evolving priorities and preoccupations of American culture from 1900 to 2000. (3 credits)

Luis Guzman

What does it mean to believe we are free? How do we reconcile the concept of an omniscient god with the idea of individual freedom? Are our actions predetermined? These questions have been raised by philosophers for 2,500 years. Without an answer to them, our self-understanding as moral beings, responsible for our actions, is jeopardized. In this course, students consider different answers to these questions offered by thinkers from Plato to Nietzsche and beyond. Focusing on the problem of free will from both religious-ethical and scientific-materialist points of view, students learn the importance of ascribing moral responsibility to human action.

Eduardo Navas

This course is a theoretical and historical survey of popular music that was influenced by or is part of the remix tradition in hip-hop and electronica. The emphasis in the class is on the shaping of culture by media and vice versa.

Remixes are compositions that reconfigure existing music recordings, often to make them more danceable. As simple as the definition sounds, remix involves a complex set of cultural variables that include issues of class, gender, and ethnicity. In the class, listening exercises and analysis of music recordings are complemented by readings that familiarize students with the historical context and theoretical underpinnings of remix practices. Our survey begins with American popular music of the early 1950s, including blues, R&B, rock ’n’ roll, and early funk. These forms influenced Caribbean music of the 1960s and gave rise to new styles: calypso, ska, reggae, and dub. The development of these styles came full circle with the emergence of hip-hop in the United States. We also examine the rise of international styles such as trip-hop, drum ’n’ bass, and dubstep and the parallel history of techno and house music and styles in between. By the end of the class, students will have acquired an understanding of the complexity of contemporary music and the extent to which it has been defined by the principles of sampling and remix.

Students have the option of earning a certificate in film production (see below) or taking production courses as part of an undergraduate degree program of study. For information about degree programs, call the Office of Admission at 212.229.5630 or email nsadmissions@newschool.edu.

Certificate in Film Production

The New School awards a Certificate in Film Production for the successful completion of a sequence of eight courses that guide the student through the contemporary art and craft of filmmaking using traditional 16mm film and digital technologies. Taught by our faculty of experienced teachers and working professionals, the courses explore all creative aspects of filmmaking and professional development in the film industry. The certificate program is designed for the committed student at any level of experience and can be completed in four academic terms. Students have the opportunity to submit their finished films for the annual New School Invitational Film Show.

The sequence consists of four production courses using 16mm film and/or digital media leading to the completion of a final film project. Production courses are complemented by classes in which students can explore technical and aesthetic aspects of film and digital production and a range of cinematic practices, including directing, cinematography, screenwriting, acting, and producing.

The following courses must be taken either sequentially or concurrently, as indicated: • The Art of Film • Filmmaking Studio 1 (concurrently with The Art of Film) • Cinematography and Lighting: Film and Digital

There is no formal admission process for the certificate program, but students must enroll for certificate status when registering and pay the certificate registration fee—certificate approval cannot be awarded for any course retroactively. Students must obtain written permission from the film production coordinator or the instructor before registering for advancedlevel courses. General policies governing New School certificate programs are described in the Educational Programs and Services section of this catalog (see Table of Contents). To make an appointment for advising, call 212.229.8903. (International students must also call 212.229.5630.)

The Art of Film NFLM3411 A 15 sessions. Tues. & Thurs., 8:00–9:50 p.m., beg. June 3. Noncredit tuition $650.

Rebecca Qidwai

This course enables students to lay the foundations for understanding the practical techniques, specialized language, and unique aesthetics of motion pictures. Students consider the expressive range of cinematic language and the ways complex emotions and ideas are communicated to the viewer.

They analyze the basic elements of cinematic form as seen through essential properties of the medium, including editing, cinematography, production design, and sound design, and gain an appreciation of film history and of the impact of culture and technology on the development of the cinema.

The filmmaking process and the impact of the film industry are also studied.

The class examines films by a range of directors including Jean-Luc Godard, Agnes Varda, Jane Campion, Werner Herzog, Alfred Hitchock, Orson Welles, Wong Kar-Wai, Yasujirō Ozu, Ingmar Bergman, Pedro Almodóvar, and Michelangelo Antonioni and supplement the discussion with readings.

Students acquire a general familiarity with the range of cinematic expression and are prepared to make surer and sounder judgments about their own film experiences and to speak and write about those judgments with greater clarity and skill. (3 credits) Filmmaking Studio 1 NFLM3660 A 15 sessions. Mon. & Wed., 7:00–9:45 p.m., beg. June 2. Noncredit tuition $1,440.

Joel Schlemowitz

This course offers the serious beginner an opportunity to learn the fundamentals of 16mm filmmaking. Students engage in a series of exercises in basic cinematography, lighting, scriptwriting, directing, and editing.

Discussions emphasize the theoretical and practical framework of film language, and student work is critiqued by both the instructor and classmates.

Students are expected to crew on one another’s projects to develop production skills and gain on-set experience. A substantial commitment of time outside of class is required. Cameras and digital editing equipment (Avid Media Composer) are provided, but students will incur modest additional costs for film stock, developing, and supplies. By the end of the course, students will have experienced all aspects of MOS (nonsync) filmmaking, from preproduction to production and postproduction, and will be ready for more ambitious personal film projects at the next level of production courses.

Familiarity with the Macintosh platform is assumed. (3 credits)

• Film 2: Advanced Preproduction and Development (concurrently with Cinematography) • Film 3: Advanced Film Production • Film 4: The Art of Film Editing Two elective courses from the following list complete the certificate curriculum: Script Analysis, Developing Ideas for Film, The Aesthetics of Directing, Audio Production, and Independent Filmmaking A–Z.

With digital cameras and computer editing equipment widely accessible, the possibility of creating engaging, professional-quality moving images is within virtually everyone’s reach. Digital video is an exciting and powerful medium of expression, but knowing how to use the tools isn’t enough to enable you to create a coherent and articulate video project. This course can help artists in any genre create works that are both technically and conceptually sound. Students work toward this goal by learning digital editing and using it to experience the power of editing as creative expression. They are also introduced to production techniques, including use of the digital camera, storyboarding, and basic lighting and sound. Several short video projects are completed during the term. There are no prerequisites, but familiarity with the Macintosh is assumed. Students have access to New School digital video cameras and editing software but must have a firewire drive. (3 credits)

Influenced by filmmakers like Michel Gondry and Wes Anderson, as well as the countless digital mash-ups and tributes on sites like Youtube, the remake is truly a 21st-century production process. In this three-day intensive course, students follow the tradition of copying the work of “masters” as a way to gain an appreciation of and master art and craft. Students develop a better understanding of filmmaking by deconstructing, reconstructing, and reproducing scenes from feature films, but with a DIY difference. The class views four films of historic note, then “crews up” to re-create specific scenes from a selected film down to the frame, using inexpensive resources immediately at hand. Crews are challenged to use makeshift alternatives and make cost-saving choices in every detail as they create a textured, atmospheric scene. The class is a hands-on creative experience that ignites the collaborative spirit good filmmaking requires and immerses students in cinematic history and theory as well as the art and craft of production, cinematography, production design, costume design, acting, directing, and editing. Students’ finished short pieces will be ready for festival screening. Prerequisite: Digital Video Production or the equivalent. (1 credit)

This four-day intensive course is an introduction to the craft of professional editing for news and documentary, commercial spots, and scripted narrative films using Avid Media Composer, the non-linear film/video editing application used in most movie and television productions. The class covers essential tools necessary to begin a basic project, assemble a story, and output a project to multiple platforms. Through lectures, demonstrations, and handson exercises using existing professional projects, students gain foundational skills that include organizing and setting up a project, managing media, executing three-point editing, constructing and reworking a scene, syncing editing and trimming dialogue, mixing music and sound effects, and creating titles and transitions. Familiarity with Macintosh computer functions is required. Bring a firewire drive to the first session. (2 credits) Master of Suspense: The Films of Alfred Hitchcock NFLM3006 A 9 sessions, June 2 thru July 7. Noncredit tuition $220.

ONLINE

Rebecca Qidwai

Alfred Hitchcock was both a masterful technician and a uniquely gifted storyteller. His films are remembered equally for their riveting narratives and for their cinematic innovations. Most of his films are psychological thrillers, but all are marked by his wry humor and distinctive reflections on contemporary sociopolitical conditions. Hitchcock’s bold style revolutionized film technique, particularly shot composition and editing. His films of the 1950s and 1960s, touching upon suspicion, espionage, and voyeurism, could serve as a visual documentary history of the Cold War. The class studies four of Hitchcock’s greatest films: Vertigo (1958), Psycho (1960), Rear Window (1954), and North by Northwest (1959). Students watch one film weekly outside of class and read related texts assigned by the instructor, approaching the films from the standpoints of history and feminist, formalist, and structuralist film theory. We discuss and deconstruct narrative elements and the social context of the films and examine filmic elements—lighting, framing, shot composition, editing, and sound design. (1 credit)

NEW Writing Film and Television Criticism NFLM3078 A 15 sessions. Mon. & Wed., 6:00–7:50 p.m., beg. June 2. Noncredit tuition $650.

Caryn James

The landscape of film and television criticism has changed dramatically in the last decade, expanding from print to an ever-growing Internet. The line between film and television has also blurred, with television gaining new respect and film becoming accessible in more ways than ever. This course considers criticism in the context of that new landscape. Students read, analyze, and evaluate recent criticism in both genres—from substantive essays to general-interest reviews and blogs—and apply those analytical tools to their own writing, learning to create strong critical arguments and developing a lucid, lively, individual style. Questions to be considered include: How does critical writing vary, both in style and in content, according to the needs of the audience? What are the different demands of a first-day review and of a more reflective critical essay that puts a work in cultural or historical context?

Of what value are episodic reviews of television series? Is there such a thing as “auteur TV,” television that reflects a unified creative vision? How should one evaluate classic films and television shows, some of which have decades of criticism behind them? Students watch assigned films and television shows outside of class and discuss and evaluate assigned readings in class. The goal for students is to develop sharp analytical skills and to write criticism expressing original opinions, presenting well-reasoned arguments, and reflecting a personal voice. The instructor is a prominent film and TV critic, formerly chief television critic for the New York Times. (3 credits)

Whether you are a writer, a director, or a producer, an understanding of story structure and dramatic principles is essential. In-depth analysis of screenplays’ storylines, characters, dialogue, images, and themes reveals a wide range of narrative techniques and storytelling styles, from Hollywood to independent and everything in between. Students view successful films and analyze their scripts, learning how essential information is conveyed, how story elements are communicated through visual means, how dramatic momentum is built with cause and effect, and what makes a character credible and complex. By the end of the term, students will have learned to analyze any film script and to apply that knowledge to their own screenwriting. (3 credits) Screenwriting 1: Fundamentals NSRW3810 A 15 sessions.

This course, designed for the beginning screenwriter, introduces the tools, vocabulary, and techniques used to tell a screen story and put an original idea into outline form. Assignments illustrate basic three-act structure, economical use of dialogue, visual storytelling elements, development of complex characters, revelation of background information, and effective use of dramatic tension. Students become familiar with screenwriting terminology as the class analyzes scenes from well-known films on video to find structural elements in the writing. By the end of the course, each student will have developed an original idea into a detailed step outline for a feature-length screenplay and written the opening scene. Prerequisite: Script Analysis.

One of the most popular genres on TV today, with some of the most innovative writing in any genre, the TV sitcom is no joke. This course investigates the peculiar art of the sitcom and offers students the challenge of writing a script for a half-hour TV comedy. Students work step by step, developing a premise, creating an outline, writing pages, revising the draft, and critiquing the script in the classroom workshop. After analyzing a number of current and past televised sitcoms, students complete a script for an existing half-hour comedy (from a selection approved by the instructor). They also learn about the business of the sitcom and are prepared for professional work. (3 credits)

Literary Salon: Zadie Smith NWRW0551 A 3 sessions. Mon. thru Wed., 6:00–7:50 p.m., beg. June 2.

Andrew Zornoza

“Nowadays I know the true reason I read is to feel less alone, to make a connection with a consciousness other than my own.” So says the writer Zadie Smith. The desire for connection and the loneliness of consciousness are vividly brought to life in NW, Smith’s fourth and latest novel. Shortlisted for the National Book Critics award, NW dives into the chasm between two territories—what we aspire to and who we are—while painting a highly realistic portrait of life in a global city for first- and second-generation immigrants. NW is not for the timid; experimentalism and the harsh realities of urban living flow together here in quick currents and eddies, much as they did for Joyce in the Dublin of Ulysses. In this salon, we explore the language and architecture of one of the finest writers in the English language, to better understand the craft of narrative, to examine how detail and feeling can bring to life a universe. Note: Read NW before the first day of the salon. (noncredit) Literary Salon: Alysia Abbott NWRW0552 A 3 sessions. Mon., Tues. & Thurs., 6:00–7:50 p.m., beg. June 2.

Madge McKeithen

In Fairyland: A Memoir of My Father (Norton, 2013), Alysia Abbott tells the story of her life with her father, Steve Abbott, bisexual writer and activist, in the charged cultural scene of San Francisco in the 1970s and 1980s, the early post–Stonewall Inn days of gay liberation. Born to openly gay parents and motherless following Barbara Abbott’s death when Alysia was two, the author weaves an irresistibly compelling tale from her experiences and memories and her father’s letters, journals, poems, and drawings. Written two decades after her father’s death from AIDS, Fairyland depicts a childhood of wonder, an adolescence of yearning and at times profound isolation, a young woman’s moves to New York and Paris, and her return to Haight-Ashbury for her father’s last months. Alysia Abbott’s memoir is many stories: of a father and daughter, a motherless daughter, American culture at the end of a period of bohemianism and the beginning of the AIDS epidemic, an introspective and contextually aware coming of age, a writer born of a writer, and abiding, imperfect, lifelong love between two people. Fairyland offers especially rich material for a community of writers to read, study, and discuss with the author, as we will in the salon. Note: Read Fairyland before the first day of the salon. (noncredit) Literary Salon: Roger Bonair-Agard NWRW0553 A 3 sessions. Mon. thru Wed., 6:00–7:50 p.m., beg. June 9.

Laura Cronk

In his powerful new collection, Bury My Clothes, Roger Bonair-Agard makes an almost reckless leap down the rabbit hole of violence, sex, and lineage. In his poems and essays, Bonair-Agard asserts that art is about survival. It is about establishing personhood in a world that says you have none. With a music that grooves and digs, Bonair-Agard turns over and over what is most difficult and dangerous in the places he sings of and in one man’s history and identity.

“I don’t know / what to think people expect anymore / when the word black blooms all inside / their bodies like smoke and blood, who / they expect to walk out of this fog.” Roger Bonair-Agard is a native of Trinidad and Tobago, a Cave Canem fellow, a two-time National Poetry Slam Champion, founder of New York City’s louderARTS Project, author of the poetry collections Tarnish and Masquerade and Gully, and co-author of Burning Down the House. Bury My Clothes was longlisted for the 2013 National Book Award for Poetry. Note: Read Bury My Clothes before the start of the salon. (noncredit)

Sharon Mesmer

Lynne Tillman’s prose comes to us from a luminous intersection: an uncertain present filled with possibility that meets a past vexed by it. Each ineffable stage produces surprisingly tangible states of desire, dread, and doubt, which Tillman masterfully captures in her novels No Lease on Life, Cast in Doubt, Motion Sickness, and American Genius: A Comedy and short story collections Absence Makes the Heart, The Madame Realism Complex, Someday This Will Be Funny, and This Is Not It, which she wrote in response to the work of 22 contemporary artists. Tillman’s character Madame Realism observes, “[S] tories do not occur outside thought. Stories, in fact, are contained within thought.” In Tillman’s work, thought is writing and writing is thought; her mind acts as a discerning curator. To read her work is to stand firmly, attentively, in the stream of liminal experience. In this class, structured like a salon, we read Tillman’s newest collection of essays, What Would Lynne Tillman Do? Tillman joins us in class to discuss the intersections of her essays and fiction and her relationship to traditional and “experimental” writing. We also talk to her about the 1990s New York literary scene, how it has changed, and how it has remained the same, as well as the role of the writer at a time of rapid change in the publishing industry and shifting distribution channels for literary work. Note: Read What Would Lynne Tillman Do? before the start of the salon. (noncredit) Literary Salon: Jennifer Egan NWRW0555 A 3 sessions. Mon. & Tues., 6:00–7:50 p.m., & Wed., 12:30–2:00 p.m., beg.

Karen McKinnon

In A Visit from the Goon Squad, Jennifer Egan’s novel of interconnected lives on the margins of the music industry, life’s wear and tear is rendered with bravado and tenderness. Winner of the 2010 National Book Critics Circle Award for Fiction and the 2011 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, the novel deploys first, second, and third person to span time and cross the globe in ways that are inventive and moving. This salon explores the author’s astute storytelling and exhilarating play with time, character, and structure. Jennifer Egan has published stories in the New Yorker, Harper’s, Granta, and McSweeney’s. She is also a journalist who has written award-winning cover stories for the New York Times Magazine. Note: Read A Visit from the Goon Squad before the first day of the salon. (noncredit) Literary Salon: CAConrad NWRW0556 A 3 sessions. Mon. & Tues., 6:00–7:50 p.m., & Thurs., 12:30–2:00 p.m., beg. June 16.

Kathleen Ossip

Since CAConrad introduced his (Soma)tic exercises in 2005, they have been used to summon the whole spectrum of human experience in the name of poetry. A Beautiful Marsupial Afternoon collects 27 exercises and the poems that resulted, incorporating unorthodox steps in the writing process, moving from the tangible everyday to the cosmos of the imagination, from the body to the consciousness, heart, and spirit. Together the poems in this collection represent an urgent call for a connective, concentrated, and unfettered creativity, with the goal of a Whitmanesque radical inclusion of everyone and everything, expanding and enlarging the utterly free space of poetry.

CAConrad is the author of six books of poetry, a 2014 Lannan Fellow, and a 2011 Pew Fellow. He conducts workshops on (Soma)tic poetry and Ecopoetics. Note: Read A Beautiful Marsupial Afternoon before the first day of the salon. (noncredit)

New York City has a long tradition of artistic exchange and collaboration between writers and painters and of exchange between writing and the visual arts]. Kenneth Koch and Larry Rivers, John Ashbery and Jane Freilicher, and James Schuyler and Fairfield Porter were close friends and collaborators. Derek Walcott and e. e. cummings both painted and wrote, and photographers like Rudy Burckhardt documented writer friends creating art in their studios. The class splits its time between The New School, where we share our writing, and the city’s preeminent art museum, The Metropolitan Museum of Art. Students meet at The New School from 10:00 to noon, break for lunch, and reconvene on the steps of The Metropolitan Museum of Art at 1:00 p.m. They spend the next two and a half hours exploring its collections and writing flash fiction and “ekphrastic” poetry, poems responding to art. We spend the first week writing in The Met’s European Painting Galleries, Sculpture Courts, Medieval Art and Armor Collection, and Costume Institute. The second week is devoted to writing in the 20th Century Wing, Contemporary Art and Photography Galleries, Asian and Islamic wings, Rooftop Outdoor Projects, and Egyptian Collections. On the final Thursday of the course, the class visits and writes at the nearby Neue Galerie, located at Fifth Avenue and 86th Street, then enjoys a picnic and an outdoor reading in Central Park.

If you bring forth that which is within you, that which is within you will save you.” This notion informs our work together, enabling the writer to follow the poem’s impulse in order to break old habits and write something challenging and difficult.

ONLINE

This course is intended to encourage and guide students who are starting to explore the many creative possibilities fiction affords. Through reading assignments, writing exercises, and discussions, students consider character development, dialogue, point of view, and significant detail. Attention is also paid to recognizing good ideas, developing stories, deciding on the best structure, and finding one’s own unique voice. Most class time is spent reviewing projects by students, which are workshopped on a weekly basis.

Readings include works by Rick Moody, Jhumpa Lahiri, Tim O’Brien, Lorrie Moore, and Michael Cunningham. (3 credits)

This study of musical poetics focuses on the buried linguistic and musical structures of poetry and the way these structures create voice and meaning in a poem. We discuss how music serves as a muse for the poet and creates a relationship between form and content. Some class time is devoted to close reading of established and younger poets representing different poetic styles and to close listening to the voices of poets reading from their own work.

Most class time, however, is devoted to examination of student writing, with the goal of helping students find their own music and voice within the poem. This course is open to poets at all levels, but beginners are especially welcome. (3 credits)

This workshop is for serious beginners as well as more experienced writers who want to delve into the still-evolving genre of creative nonfiction, which includes personal essay, memoir, documentary, and literary journalism.

Through in-class writing and weekly assignments, students develop the skills to build a narrative frame around real-life events and situations. Student work is read and discussed in class. Readings from both The Art of the Personal Essay: An Anthology from the Classical Era to the Present, edited by Phillip Lopate, and Vivian Gornick’s The Situation and the Story guide our considerations of the choices made by James Baldwin, Joan Didion, Natalie Ginzburg, Walter Benjamin, and other masters. (3 credits)

What keeps the reader engaged in a story? How does voice pull us into the fictional world? How can atmosphere enhance the narrative? What marks the difference between a story that is merely serviceable and one we can’t put down? This is a class for fiction writers who want to learn how to create a compelling narrative. We look at the basic elements of storytelling— characterization, point of view, description, and dialogue—and examine the way these elements work together to create mystery and tension. Student work is critiqued in a supportive and constructive workshop environment.

Outside readings illustrate issues of craft that arise as students get to know one another’s work. Guest speakers from the publishing industry discuss what they look for in assessing works of fiction. (3 credits)

Discussions about the forms, techniques, and history of nonfiction are supplemented by readings from work by Joan Didion, V.S. Naipaul, Jamaica Kincaid, W.G. Sebald, Sherman Alexie, Abigail Thomas, and other writers. (3 credits)

Robert Lopez

This workshop is for writers who want to try something different and work in multiple genres. As Samuel Beckett wrote, “To find a form that accommodates the mess, that is the task of the artist now.” The mess is the whole of our modern world: How do we harness it into form? Writers address this question by challenging conventions, experimenting with and blurring the lines between prose and poetry. In this course, students are encouraged to work on fiction that looks like poetry, poems that read like plays or fiction, and plays that incorporate all genres. Students discuss and critique one another’s work along with works by writers like David Markson, Lydia Davis, James Tate, Sandra Cisneros, Will Eno, and Carole Maso. (3 credits)

Learning a Foreign Language at The New School

New School foreign language courses are designed to help you achieve linguistic independence in the language you have chosen to study. Most of the modern language instructors are native speakers, and all courses are designed to introduce students to a language in its cultural context. The emphasis is on interaction in class between students and instructor and between students themselves.

Before traveling to the Middle East, stop at The New School for a weekend immersion in Levantine Arabic. Master common situations such as asking for directions, handling currency, ordering in restaurants, and shopping. Make rapid progress learning to converse in Levantine Arabic. Level 1 is for complete beginners. No prior knowledge of Modern Standard Arabic is required. Since the focus of this course is conversation, phonetic transliterations are used. The workshop meets Friday, 6:00–9:30 p.m.; Saturday, 10:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m. (with a one-hour lunch break); and Sunday, 10:30 a.m.–3:00 p.m., for a total of 14 hours of instruction. (noncredit) Introductory Intensive 1 NARB1003 A 13 sessions. Mon. thru Thurs., 10:00 a.m.–1:45 p.m., beg. June 2.

Choosing the Proper Course

With some exceptions (such as the Graduate Reading courses and Arabic), foreign languages are taught in a five-term course sequence, designated as Levels 1 through 5. Each level corresponds to one semester of study. Levels 1, 2, and 3 represent introductory stages of language learning; Levels 4 and 5 represent intermediate stages. Content courses are advanced stages.

Those who wish to learn a language at an accelerated pace can opt for an Intensive course. These courses provide the equivalent of one and half to two semesters of study in one term. Intensive courses can be taken for 4 undergraduate credits.

Reading courses are designed for graduate students preparing for their reading exams and any others who need to read texts in another language.

On the Go workshops are noncredit immersion weekends offered in several popular languages and oriented to travelers. These courses offer 14 hours of intensive instruction over three days.

You can register for most courses for either noncredit or general credit status. The noncredit tuition is listed as part of the course description. General credit tuition for courses in this catalog is $1,170 per credit. For information about registration options, see pages 38–39.

This course introduces the use of (mainly online) corpora, or digitalized databases of texts, in language teaching. The field of corpus linguistics has developed rapidly in the last two decades, and corpus data now inform the design of dictionaries, grammar references, and language textbooks. Specialized corpora, such as academic English and spoken language corpora, have become essential resources in the preparation of specially targeted (ESP, EAP) courses. Access to corpora has been facilitated by the rapid growth of (often free) online resources as well as the development of a variety of functional tools easily accessible in “smart classrooms” and on mobile devices. Students review the history of corpus linguistics, with special reference to lexicography, phraseology, text linguistics, and second language teaching. They experiment with a number of online corpora and their associated functionalities, including concordancing, frequency lists, keywords, and cluster analysis. They develop and report on a small-scale study of a selected genre or register, showing how corpus analysis can inform the design of classroom materials and tasks.

Tamara Kirson

X-word grammar (XWG) is a linguistics-based pedagogy that demystifies the teaching and learning of grammar. It focuses on relationships between elements of grammar that reveal the logic and consistency rather than the exceptions in English grammar. One type of relationship, or “match,” taught in x-word grammar is that between the 20 x-words and six verb forms. X-word grammar clarifies these grammatical patterns, helping educators develop the confidence to guide students in their own discovery of the patterns and application of this knowledge in their writing. Educators who attend these two workshops adopt the role of grammar analysts, just as they will teach their students to assume that role. The diverse methodologies used in the workshop can be immediately applied in the classroom. (noncredit)

The New School’s founders sought to establish a “dynamic center of modern culture in which adults could learn to appreciate new art forms, or even become artists themselves” (Rutkoff and Scott, New School: A History of the New School for Social Research).

This commitment to teaching and nurturing the creative arts has continued, and today The New School offers a wide range of courses in the arts for students at all levels.

This lecture/demonstration course for beginners covers the fundamentals of digital photography. The goal is to give students a sense of the power of photography and confidence in using a camera without bogging them down in excessive technical detail. Topics include different types of cameras, how to choose a camera, and how to hold the camera to ensure sharp photographs.

Aperture opening (f-stop) and shutter speed are explained in detail so that students learn how the two work together to control exposure, sharpness, and depth. There is also discussion of lighting techniques; control of image size and perspective by choice of lens and focal length; creative application of depth-of-field; how and when to use automatic features of electronic cameras; accessories such as tripods, flashes, and filters; and the digital darkroom.

Shooting assignments are supported by assigned technical readings. Individual creativity is stressed, and students’ work is viewed and discussed in class.

All topics are handled informally, and open discussion and questions are encouraged. If you own a camera, bring it to the first class session. (noncredit)

Louise Montello, Coordinator

The certificate program in Creative Arts and Health is a nine-course sequence culminating in a 150-hour fieldwork experience. There are four tracks, each emphasizing a particular healing modality—Art, Music, Drama, and Dance/Movement.

The courses integrate mind-body techniques such as creative visualization, guided imagery, mindfulness, and therapeutic touch with more traditional arts therapy and psycho-educational approaches. Fieldwork opportunities are available in diverse settings. Our distinctive curriculum encourages students to work in multiple artistic modalities while developing general therapeutic insights and skills.

The certificate is offered on a noncredit basis for college graduates and for college credit for undergraduate students who wish to incorporate the curriculum into a bachelor’s degree program, for example, in psychology or education studies. For health, social services, and education practitioners interested in professional development, this program offers a systematic approach to integrating the healing power of the arts into their professions.

It can also be used as preparation for advanced professional training in creative arts therapy. Creative arts therapists integrate arts modalities and creative activities into the practice of psychotherapy in clinical settings, such as hospitals, nursing homes, group homes, outpatient psychotherapy clinics, special education, and private practice.

What is American drink? Is it warmed-over traditional British beverages: tea, ale, hard cider, syllabubs, toddies? Is it versions of beverages originally brought over by successive waves of immigrants: lager and pilsner, sangria, tequila, bubble tea? Is it the vigorously marketed creations of America’s beverage industries, such as Kentucky Bourbon, Kool-Aid, Snapple, Coors, and CocaCola? This course examines the cultural, social, technological, and economic history that has influenced what Americans drink today. It is an action-packed history, filled with rumrunners, soda manufacturers, coffee moguls, cocktail inventors, temperance preachers, prohibitionists, health advocates, and hardhitting advertisers, all of whom contributed to the contentious American drinkscape of the 21st century.

Thomas Forster

Local, healthful, and sustainable food movements are often defined as alternatives to the dominant industrial model of global food supply. This class examines the history that led to present-day systems of food production and distribution. How did the institutional and political power of industrial agriculture become so well established? How did technology come to dominate food production, at the expense of social and environmental approaches?

The history of feeding cities and regions, explored through readings, class discussion, and visits from guest speakers, offers insights into the future of food systems design and management. Among the topics examined is the rise of local and regional food systems in the early 21st century. What are the roots of the organic, sustainable, locavore, fair and food justice movements? How do they relate to the rise of food sovereignty movements in the Global South?

How does the history of policy relate to the future of food? (3 credits)

INSTITUTE FOR RETIRED PROFESSIONALS

INSTITUTE FOR RETIRED PROFESSIONALS www.irp.newschool.edu Michael I. Markowitz, Director

In 1962, a group of retired New York City schoolteachers, dissatisfied with the senior learning programs available to them, organized a learning community at The New School, the Institute for Retired Professionals (IRP). At the time of its founding, the IRP was one of the first examples in the United States of what would come to be called the “positive aging” movement and elder empowerment. The original IRP students developed a unique model of adult continuing education based on peer-learning, in which all members share responsibility for the scholarly venture, being simultaneously curriculum creators, teachers, and students.

Today's IRP students, ranging in age from 54 to 94, develop and participate in challenging study groups (see the list opposite for examples). The IRP curriculum is limited only by the imagination of the program’s participants.

IRP Learning Model The IRP model has been highly influential, and today many colleges welcome elder learning communities to their campuses. These programs have attracted to college campuses people who had formerly been excluded while contributing to a dialogue on the changing paradigm of aging and retirement. Over time, the IRP helped give birth to the ILR (Institute for Learning in Retirement) movement. Today, more than 300 campus-based programs follow the ILR model. Like the IRP, many are associated with the Elderhostel Institute Network (EIN), founded in 1989 as a clearinghouse for existing and new ILRs. That the Institute for Retired Professionals was welcomed and nurtured at The New School, with its historic roots in educating the educated, is not surprising. The New School has always been part of a movement in our society to make institutions of higher education more inclusive and more welcoming to women, people of color, and other underrepresented groups.

The IRP program is still unique in the New York area. Mature students from various backgrounds design, teach, and participate with their peers in weekly courses that would meet academic standards in any college degree program.

Applying for Membership Open house events and interviews are scheduled throughout the year.

Applications are received and reviewed throughout the year for a limited number of September and February admissions. For more information about the program or membership, contact New School Institute for Retired Professionals, 66 West 12th St., New York, NY 10011; tel: 212.229.5682; fax: 212.229.5872; email: irp@newschool.edu.

Academic Program IRP study groups are noncredit, and there are neither tests nor grades.

However, all members of the community take their responsibilities seriously, and student participation in the study groups is an essential element in the continuing success of the institute. In the IRP model, information is created by the students themselves in study groups rather than transferred from teacher to student.

Students also have opportunities to explore the broad range of New School courses and to participate in other aspects of university life as part of its diverse student body. The IRP itself sponsors regular public events at The New School, including the annual conference on elder abuse.

36

Typical Study Groups The study group is the heart of the IRP experience. Study groups are scheduled mornings and afternoons Monday through Thursday and Friday mornings.

A small curriculum is now being offered in summer term as well. Class sizes range from 12 to 35. Every term, 20 or so new groups are started and the same number of old ones dropped. Some recent course titles are listed below.

Literature and Arts World Dance T.S. Eliot Greek Drama Joyce’s Ulysses Jane Austen History of Jazz Plays of Albee and O’Neill Irish Poetry Japanese Literature Literature of Baseball Benjamin Britten Politics in 20th-Century Music Virginia Woolf Public Affairs The Constitution Human History and the Environment Globalism The Origins of War Great Decisions Socio-cultural Issues Immigration Policy Gender Issues Race and Society Slavery Past and Present 20th-Century Migrations Bioethics News Without Newspapers

Social and Other Activities Learning in the IRP is both a social and an intellectual experience.

Common learning interests provide a foundation for new friendships.

In addition to classroom activities, the IRP sponsors group art shows, special lectures, and readings; publishes a literary journal; organizes urban walks, day trips, and domestic and international study trips; and offers inexpensive tickets to many cultural events.

THE NEW SCHOOL FOR PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT David Scobey, Executive Dean, The New School for Public Engagement Kathleen Breidenbach, Vice Dean Celesti Colds Fechter, Associate Dean for Academic Services L.H.M. Ling, Associate Dean for Faculty Affairs Joseph Heathcott, Associate Dean for Academic Initiatives Nicholas Allanach, Director of Academic Operations Thelma Armstrong, Executive Assistant to the Dean Seth Cohen, Director of Administrative Services Merida Escandon, Director of Admission Emily Martin, Assistant Dean of Academic Operations Suk Mei Man, Director of Academic Systems Cecilia Ponte, Director of Faculty Affairs Chrissy Roden, Director of Academic Student Services Pamela Tillis, Director of Public Programs Allen Austill, Dean Emeritus

The New School was founded in 1919 as a center for “discussion, instruction, and counseling for mature men and women.” It became America’s first university for adults. Over the years, it has grown into an urban university enrolling more than 10,000 students in undergraduate and graduate degree programs.

The New School for Public Engagement, the founding division of the university, has never neglected its o­ riginal mission. It continues to serve the intellectual, cultural, artistic, and professional needs and interests of adult students. The curriculum published in this bulletin offers an enormous range of opportunities for intellectual inquiry and skills development.

Certain values inform the process of preparing a curriculum each term.

These were articulated in a statement of purpose prepared by a University Commission on Continuing Education in the spring of 1984: “The New School does not set any limits to its p ­ rograms in regard to subject matter. Whatever ­seriously interests persons of mature intelligence properly falls within the province of the school. History and philosophy, the social and behavioral sciences, literature and art, the natural and b­ io­logical sciences, e­ ducation, and ethics naturally take up a significant part of the New School curriculum, since these are the fields in which the forces of ­culture and change are most significantly active, and in which human beings, their institutions, and their products are directly studied. The centrality of the liberal arts is maintained and strengthened in every possible way, but not to the exclusion of o­ ther educational programs that serve a legitimate need for mature adults in a mature community.”

Some of the finest minds of the 20th century developed unique courses at The New School. W.E.B. DuBois taught the first course on race and African-American culture offered at a university; Karen Horney and Sandor Ferenczi introduced the insights and conflicts of psychoanalysis; Charles Abrams was the first to explore the complex issues of urban housing; the first university course on the history of film was taught at this institution; and in the early sixties, Gerda Lerner offered the first university course in women’s studies. Over the years, lectures, s­ eminars, and courses have examined most of the important national and i­nternational issues of our time. To this day, many talented teachers and professionals choose The New School as a place to introduce new courses and explore new ideas. The New School maintains its tradition of educational innovation and keeps its place on the cutting edge of intellectual and creative life in New York City.

Accreditation The New School and its degree programs are fully a­ ccredited by the Commission on Higher Education of the Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. Its credits and degrees are r­ ecognized and accepted by other accredited colleges, universities, and professional schools throughout the United States. The New School, a privately supported institution, is chartered as a u ­ niversity by the Regents of the State of New York.

EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS AND SERVICES The New School is committed to creating and maintaining an environment of diversity and tolerance in all areas of employment, education, and access to educational, artistic, and cultural programs and activities. It does not discriminate on the basis of age, race, color, sexual orientation, gender (including gender identity and expression), pregnancy, religion, religious practices, mental or physical disability, national or ethnic origin, citizenship status, veteran status, marital or partnership status, or other protected status.

Students with disabilities should read Services for Students with Disabilities in this bulletin for information about obtaining accommodation of their needs and how to proceed if they feel such accommodation has been denied. Students who feel they have suffered disability discrimination other than denial of reasonable accommodation, or discrimination on any basis described above, may file a complaint pursuant to the University Policy on Discrimination (see University Policies Governing Student Conduct on the website at www.newschool.edu/studentservices/rights/other-policies).

Inquiries about the application of laws and regulations concerning equal employment and educational opportunity at The New School, including Title VI (race, color, or national origin), Section 504 (people with disabilities), and Title IX (gender) may be referred to the office of the General Counsel, The New School, 80 Fifth Ave., suite 801, New York, NY 10011. Inquiries may also be referred to the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs, U.S. Department of Labor, 23 Federal Plaza, New York, NY 10278, or the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), New York District Office, 201 Varick Street, Suite 1009, New York, NY 10014.

Study Options Noncredit The majority of courses in this bulletin can be taken on a noncredit basis. ­Noncredit students pay tuition and fees as listed in the course d ­ escriptions.

Noncredit students are entitled to receive the instructor’s ­evaluation of any assigned coursework they complete, but no letter grades are reported. Except for students in certificate programs (see opposite), the university does not maintain a permanent or official record of noncredit enrollment. We can provide a noncredit record of attendance, which may be used for tuition reimbursement from your employer or for your own records. This record of attendance must be requested during the term in which the course is taken. See Records, Grades, and Transcripts in this bulletin. There is a fee for this service.

General Credit (Nonmatriculated) A student interested in earning undergraduate college credits may register on a general credit basis for most courses in this bulletin, accumulating a maximum of 24 ­credits without matriculating. The number of credits awarded for any course is shown in parentheses at the end of the course description. The ­student receives a letter grade in each course and is entitled to transcripts of record.

A general credit student is outside any degree program at The New School and is registered on a nonmatriculated basis. General credit students have ­limited access to university facilities: They have access to The New School’s Fogelman and Gimbel Libraries but not to the Bobst or Cooper Union Libraries; they do not have access to academic computing facilities unless they are enrolled in a course that includes such access. Answers to most questions about access to ­facilities can be found on the website at www.newschool.edu/resources.

Credits are ­usually transferable to the New School Bachelor’s and other undergraduate degree programs, but it is seldom possible to determine in advance whether credits will be accepted by a particular institution; that will be decided by the school and for a particular degree program. When possible, students taking courses for transfer to another school should confirm that the credits will be accepted before they register here.

You should consider registering for general credit if you think you will need an official record of your course work for any reason: you are testing your ability to handle college-level study; to qualify for a salary increment from the Board of Edu­cation (NYC or other employer); to make up educational deficiencies (prerequisites for an MA, for example); to fulfill a ­language requirement for graduate school; or for career advancement.

Specific requirements for credit vary from course to course, and each ­student is responsible for learning from the instructor what they are: the books to be read, the paper(s) to be written, and other criteria to be used for evaluation.

General credit registration for any course should be completed before the first class session. General credit registration for 9 or more credits requires prior approval and must be completed in p­ erson. Schedule an advising appointment with Academic Services: 212.229.5615; academicservices@newschool.edu.

General credit tuition for courses in this catalog is $1,170 per credit for undergraduate students, and an $80 University Services Fee is charged each term at registration.

Certificates The New School for Public Engagement awards certificates of completion in several areas of study. A certificate attests to successful completion of a structured program of courses designed to establish proficiency in a specific field. For more information, contact the Office of the Dean: call 212.229.5615.

The following certificates are currently offered: Creative Arts Therapy (HEGIS code 5299.00) English as a Second Language (noncredit only) Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (HEGIS code 5608.00) TESOL Summer Institute certificates (noncredit only) Film Production (HEGIS code 5610.00) Screenwriting (HEGIS code 5610.00) Each certificate has specific requirements, and certificates are offered only as specified. Consult the particular sections of this bulletin or visit the website for information about these requirements and necessary ­educational advising. All certificate students are responsible for knowing and completing attendance and aca­demic performance requirements for their courses.

Tuition for Certificate Students: Tuition for noncredit certificate students is the tuition listed with the course descriptions in this catalog. If the student is taking the course for credit, tuition depends on the student’s status and the number of ­credits assigned to the course.

Registration: All certificate students must have their programs approved by the appropriate course advisor before they register, must register in person, and must specifically request certificate ­status for each approved course at registration.

Certificate students pay the $80 University Services Fee each term at registration.

Grades and Records: Certificate students receive a grade of Approved (AP) or Not Approved (NA) at the conclusion of a course. (Credit students should consult their program advisor to find out the minimum letter grade required for Certificate Approval.) Permanent records are maintained for all certificate students, and transcripts are available.

Request for Certificate: A student who has completed all the requirements of a certificate p ­ rogram should file the Petition for Certificate form available at the Registrar’s Office. Certificates are conferred in January, May, and August.

For more information about Student Disability Services, please visit www.newschool.edu/studentservices.

Students who have disabilities are encouraged to self-identify.

Once a student has self-identified, a meeting will be arranged to review appropriate medical documentation from a qualified clinician and discuss the student’s needs and concerns. Students who need special accommodations, please contact Student Disability Services: 212.229.5626; studentdisability@newschool.edu.

Students with disabilities who feel they have been denied reasonable accommodation should follow the procedure provided for by the New School Policy for Requesting Reasonable Accommodations available on the website at www.newschool.edu/studentservices/rights/other-policies or at the Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities.

THE UNIVERSITY www.newschool.edu

The New School for Public Engagement is one of seven divisions of The New School, a unique urban university offering undergraduate, graduate, and continuing education programs in the liberal arts and social sciences, design, and the performing arts. The other divisions are described briefly below.

The New School is located in Manhattan’s Greenwich Village, with a few facilities elsewhere in Manhattan. There is a map on the inside back cover of this catalog that includes all facilities of the university.

The New School provides the following institutional information on the university website at www.newschool.edu: FERPA (Family Education Rights and Privacy Act); financial assistance information (federal, state, local, private, and institutional need-based and non-need-based assistance programs, Title IV, FFEL, and Direct Loan deferments); institutional policies (fees, refund policies, withdrawing from school, academic information, disability services); completion/graduation and transfer-out rates (graduation rate of degree-seeking students, transfer-out rate of degreeseeking students). To request copies of any of these reports, contact the appropriate office as listed on the website.

THE DIVISIONS OF THE NEW SCHOOL As we approach the 100th anniversary of the university’s founding, The New School’s legacy of change remains a source of pride. The New School has been evolving since the day it began offering nondegree courses for working adults, responding to changes in the marketplace of ideas, career opportunities, and human curiosity. Each area of study, degree program, and school within the university has a unique story—from the founding division’s focus on nontraditional students to the new approaches to design, management, urban policy, and the performing arts introduced by the divisions that have become part of The New School since the 1970s. Today undergraduate, graduate, and continuing education students still come to The New School expecting a university like no other. For that reason, the story of The New School’s seven divisions, themselves the products of continuous reinvention, occupies a special place in the history of higher education.

Visit the home page of each division for information about degrees offered and areas of study.

Eugene Lang College The New School for Liberal Arts www.newschool.edu/lang 65 West 11th Street, New York NY 10011 | 212.229.5665 Eugene Lang College is The New School’s four-year liberal arts college for traditional-age undergraduates. The college began in 1972 as the Freshman Year Program, an experimental program for high school seniors. It became the Seminar College, a full-time bachelor’s program, in 1975 and a separate division of the university in 1985. This bold experiment in undergraduate education is named in honor of New School trustee Eugene M. Lang, a generous supporter of the college. Students at Eugene Lang College enjoy small seminar-style classes taught by a faculty of prominent scholars, many of whom are also affiliated with the graduate departments of The New School for Social Research. Lang’s location in the center of a major metropolitan area offers its students opportunities for civic engagement and internships available to students of few other small liberal arts schools.

Mannes College The New School for Music www.newschool.edu/mannes 150 West 85th Street, New York, NY 10024 | 212.580.0210 Founded in 1916 by David Mannes and Clara Damrosch, Mannes College became part of The New School in 1989. Mannes is one of the leading classical music conservatories in the world, providing professional training for a select group of talented student musicians. A comprehensive curriculum and faculty of world-class artists enable students to attain virtuosity in vocal and instrumental music, conducting, composition, and theory. Students also enjoy access to the resources of the university as a whole. Like the students they teach, Mannes faculty members come from every corner of the world. They include performers and conductors from prominent orchestras, ensembles, and opera companies and renowned solo performers, composers, and scholars in every field of classical music. Mannes offers undergraduate and graduate music degrees, professional diplomas, an extension program for adults, and a preparatory program for children.

The New School for Drama www.newschool.edu/drama 151 Bank Street, New York, NY 10014 | 212.229.5150 The New School has been a center of innovation in theater since Erwin Piscator brought his Dramatic Workshop here from Europe in the 1940s. His students included Marlon Brando, Walter Matthau, Harry Belafonte, Elaine Stritch, and Tennessee Williams. Piscator established a tradition of excellence in theater education that continues at The New School today. The New School for Drama began in 1994 as a program to train talented individuals for careers in the theater as actors, directors, and playwrights. The New School’s New York City setting offers students abundant opportunities to learn through observation and make professional connections through the broadest theater career network in the United States.

The New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music www.newschool.edu/jazz 55 West 13th Street, New York, NY 10011 | 212.229.5896 In 1986, The New School established an undergraduate program offering talented young musicians the opportunity to study with professional artists from New York City’s peerless jazz community. The teaching model is based on the tradition of the artist as mentor: Our students study and perform with some of the world’s most accomplished musicians. They are immersed in the history and theory of and latest developments in jazz, blues, pop, and the everevolving genres of contemporary music. Learning takes place in classrooms, student ensembles, one-on-one tutorials, public performances, and master classes. Students develop their creative talents to meet the high standards of professional musicianship exemplified by the legendary faculty.

The New School for Public Engagement www.newschool.edu/public-engagement 66 West 12th Street, New York, NY 10011 | 212.229.5615 The New School for Public Engagement embodies the values that motivated the university’s founders in 1919. The division was renamed in 2011 to reflect its position as an enterprise designed to connect theory to practice, foster innovation in culture and communication, and promote democratic citizenship through lifelong education. The division offers undergraduate degree programs for adult and transfer students and graduate degrees and certificates in its schools of languages, media studies, and writing and in the Milano School of International Affairs, Management, and Urban Policy. The division also offers hundreds of open-enrollment continuing education courses on campus in Greenwich Village and online.

ABOUT THE NEW SCHOOL

The New School for Social Research www.newschool.edu/socialresearch 16 East 16th Street, New York, NY 10003 | 212.229.5700 In 1933, The New School gave a home to the University in Exile, a refuge for scholars fleeing persecution by the Nazis. In 1934, The New School incorporated this community as a graduate school of political and social science. Today’s graduate students enjoy opportunities to cross disciplinary boundaries and collaborate with scholars, designers, and artists in other divisions of the university. The New School for Social Research addresses the most urgent political, cultural, and economic concerns of the day and upholds the highest standards of critical inquiry.

Parsons The New School for Design www.newschool.edu/parsons 2 West 13th Street, New York, NY 10011 | 212.229.8950 Parsons is one of the world’s preeminent colleges of art and design. Founded in 1896 by artist William Merritt Chase and his circle, Parsons was renamed in 1936 for its longtime president, Frank Alvah Parsons, who dedicated his career to integrating visual art and industrial design. Parsons became part of The New School in 1970. It was the first institution in the United States to award university degrees in fashion design, interior design, advertising and graphic design (originally commercial illustration), and lighting design.

Parsons has earned and maintained an international reputation as a school at the vanguard of design education. Students in its undergraduate and graduate degree programs hold themselves to exceptional standards of creativity and scholarship, developing their skills and building knowledge in laboratories, workshops, and seminars. Parsons offers general art and design courses and certificate programs for students of all ages.

Failure to complete payment does not void your registration nor charges due.

Contact Student Financial Services at 212.229.8930 with inquiries about payment of tuition and fees (or email sfs@newschool.edu using your New School email account if you have one). Access your personal account information online at my.newschool.edu.

If the reimbursement will be made upon receipt of grades: There is a participation fee of $150, and the student must complete both the Employer Reimbursement Deferment Form and the Deferral Credit Card Payment Authorization.

The New School will send an invoice for payment to the employer according to the authorization. Payment for any balance due not covered by the authorization letter must be made prior to or submitted with the deferment form.

For answers to questions regarding employer reimbursement, email sfs@newschool.edu or call 212.229.8930.

Tax Deduction for Education Under certain circumstances, educational expenses undertaken to maintain or improve job skills may be deductible for income tax purposes. Students are advised to bring this to the attention of their tax advisors.

Returned Check Policy If, for any reason, a check does not clear for payment, a penalty of $30 is charged to the student’s account. The university cannot presume that a student has withdrawn from classes because a check has not cleared or has been stopped; payment and penalty remain due. Payment for the amount of the returned check and the $30 penalty must be made with cash, certified bank check, or money order; another personal check will not be accepted.

An additional 10 percent penalty is charged if payment for a returned check is not received within four weeks. After a second returned check, all future charges must be paid with cash, certified bank check, or money order, and no further personal checks or ACH online payments will be accepted.

If it becomes necessary to forward an account to a collection agency, an additional 10 percent penalty will be charged on the remaining balance.

Deferral of Payment for Employer Reimbursement Students expecting reimbursement from an employer or sponsor may defer payment of tuition and fees by submitting a signed authorization letter on official employer/sponsor letterhead along with the appropriate deferral form(s) as described below. This may be done by mail or fax or in person, but not by email.

The authorization letter must show a current date and must include the student’s full name (and, if available, the student’s New School ID number), the amount to be reimbursed, the academic term for which the charges will be covered, the signer’s address and telephone number, and the specific terms for reimbursement (either contingent on receipt of grades or else billable upon registration; see below). Any portion of charges that the employer has not agreed to pay may not be deferred. Certificate and nonmatriculated students must submit these forms with their registration forms.

The policies and deadlines published in this bulletin are applicable to all certificate and nonmatriculated (noncredit or general credit) students.

Possession of a current New School student ID card does not entitle the bearer to attend any particular course or session of a course.

The Statement/Schedule is issued by the Office of Student Financial Services upon receipt of payment. If you register by mail, telephone, or fax, or on the Web, your Statement/Schedule will be mailed to you. Please retain this form.

If you have not yet received your Statement/Schedule or have forgotten or lost it, you will be admitted to the class if your name appears on the class ­roster. You can access your course schedule online at my.newschool.edu (you will need your New School student ID number).

Student ID Card Upon receipt of payment, noncredit students are mailed a New School ID card (without photo) valid only for the academic term in which they are enrolled. Please carry this ID whenever you come to The New School and be prepared to show it to security staff on request. If you do not receive your ID card within two weeks of registration, contact Student Financial Services at sfs@newschool.edu or 212.229.8930.

All students taking courses for credit or certificate and members of the IRP are entitled to a student photo ID card. New students should obtain the photo ID as soon as they complete payment or payment arrangements. See the last page of this bulletin for Photo ID office location and hours.

Campus Security The New School employs a security staff to monitor and maintain the rights, privileges, and safety of members of the university community and the security of university property. It is assumed that members of the community will comply with security measures such as the checking of ID cards at building entrances and will report incidents to the security staff, if and when they occur. The university’s latest crime reporting statistics can be viewed at www.newschool.edu/security.

Admission to Public Programs Tickets to lectures, readings, concerts, and other events listed in the front of this bulletin with a fee but without a course registration number are available at the Box Office in the lobby of the Johnson Building, 66 West 12th Street.

Academic Honesty The university community, in order to fulfill its purposes, must maintain high standards of academic behavior. All members of the community are expected to exhibit honesty in their academic work. Students have a responsibility to acquaint themselves with and make use of proper procedures for writing papers, taking examinations, and doing research. The principle of academic honesty is understood to apply to all student work, including papers, reports, computer work, quizzes, and examinations. The New School reserves the right to suspend or dismiss a student whose conduct is found to be in conflict with the principle of academic honesty. Full information about New School policies and procedures in case of suspected violations is available in the office of Academic Student Services, 66 West 12th Street, room 301.

Use of Photographs The New School reserves the right to take or cause to be taken, without remuneration, photographs, film, video, and other graphic depictions of students, faculty, staff, and visitors for promotional, educational, and other non-commercial purposes, as well as to approve such use by third parties with whom the university may engage in joint marketing. Such purposes may include print and electronic publications. This paragraph serves as public notice of the intent of the university to do so and as a release to the university giving permission to use your image for such purposes.

License in Works to the University Under The New School’s Intellectual Property Policy, the university shall have a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to use the works created by its students and faculty for archival, reference, research, classroom, and other educational purposes. With regard to tangible works of fine art or applied art, this license will attach only to stored images of such work (e.g., slides, videos, or digitized images) and does not give the university a right to the tangible works themselves. With regard to literary, artistic, and musical works, this license will only attach to brief excerpts of such works for purposes of education. When using works pursuant to this license, the university will make reasonable efforts to display indicia of the authorship of a work. This license shall be presumed to arise automatically and no additional formality shall be required. If the university wishes to acquire rights to use a work or a reproduction or image of a work for advertising, promotional or fund-raising purposes, the university will negotiate directly with the creator in order to obtain permission.

Tickets can be reserved in advance with a credit card. Call 212.229.5488 and give your name, email or contact phone number, program title(s), and number of tickets required.

The time allowed for completion of the work and removal of the “I” mark will be set by the instructor but may be no later than the seventh week of the following fall semester for spring or summer term incompletes or the seventh week of the following spring semester for fall term incompletes.

Grade Reporting

AP

Approved (noncredit certificate student)

Grades are recorded for all students registered in a course for credit or noncredit certificate.

NA

Not Approved (noncredit certificate student)

GM

Grade Not Reported for Student

Academic Transcripts An official transcript carries the Registrar’s signature and the New School seal.

It documents a student’s permanent academic record at the university. Students may have a transcript mailed to any address, including other colleges and institutions, by submitting an official request to the Office of the Registrar.

This can be done online at my.newschool.edu. Transcripts are not issued for students who have outstanding debts to The New School. For additional information, visit www.newschool.edu/studentservices/registrar/transcripts.

Noncredit Record of Attendance Noncredit students can request a noncredit record of attendance during the academic term in which they are registered. This record identifies the course and verifies the student’s completion of the course. It is not an academic e­ valuation and does not provide a course grade. A noncredit record of a­ ttendance must be requested from the Registrar’s Office in writing no later than four (4) weeks before the final session of the course.

The written request may be faxed to 212.229.5648 (credit card payment only), mailed, or presented in person at the Registrar’s Office. A s­ eparate record is issued for each noncredit course; the nonrefundable fee is $20 per course, which must be paid by the student’s own personal check or MasterCard, Visa, Discover, or American Express card; cash is not accepted. The noncredit record of attendance is not available for any event listed in the New School Bulletin without a course number or for any course meeting fewer than four times.

The New School does not maintain a permanent or official record of noncredit enrollment.

Students must be properly registered in order to attend any course or session of a course. Attendance in class and/or completion of course requirements is not the equivalent of registration and will not make a student eligible to receive academic credit or certificate approval for any course.

Grades are normally posted within two weeks after a course ends. Students can view their grades on the Internet at my.newschool.edu. A student ID number (printed on your Statement/Schedule and photo ID card) is required for access. A printed copy of the grade report is available from the Registrar’s Office upon request by the student.

Grade Review Policy A student may petition for review of any grade within 60 days after the grade was issued. Before deciding to appeal a grade, the student should first request from the course instructor an informal explanation of the reasons for assigning the grade. If the student is not satisfied with the explanation or none is offered, the student may pursue the matter as follows: 1. The student submits a formal letter briefly stating objections to the assigned grade directly to the faculty member with a copy to the department chair or director (or if the faculty member is the department chair, with a copy to the dean).

2. The instructor is required to respond in writing to the student’s letter within one month of receipt, also with a copy to the department chair or director or the dean, as appropriate.

3. If the student is unsatisfied by the faculty member’s written explanation, further appeal can be made by a written request to the dean’s office for a review of the previous communications. An appropriate administrator designated by the dean will then convene an appeals committee to review the student’s letter and the instructor’s response, clarify any outstanding questions or issues, and make a recommendation to the dean. The dean’s decision is final.

46

ABOUT THE NEW SCHOOL

Change of Grade Final grades are subject to revision by the instructor with the approval of the dean’s office for one semester following the term in which the course was offered. After one semester has elapsed, all grades recorded in the Registrar’s Office become a permanent part of the academic record, and no changes are allowed.

Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, with which The New School complies, was enacted to protect the privacy of education records, to establish the right of students to inspect and review their education records, and to provide guidelines for correction of inaccurate or misleading statements.

The New School has established the following student information as public or directory information, which may be disclosed by the institution at its discretion: student name; major field of study; dates of attendance; full- or part-time enrollment status; year level; degrees and awards received, including dean’s list; the most recent previous educational institution attended, addresses, phone numbers, photographs, email addresses; and date and place of birth.

Students may request that The New School withhold release of their directory information by notifying the Registrar’s Office in writing. This notification must be renewed annually at the start of each fall term.

As of January 3, 2012, the U.S. Department of Education’s FERPA regulations expand the circumstances under which your education records and personally identifiable information (PII) contained in such records—including your Social Security Number, grades, or other private information—may be accessed without your consent. First, the U.S. Comptroller General, the U.S. Attorney General, the U.S. Secretary of Education, or state and local education authorities (“Federal and State Authorities”) may allow access to your records and PII without your consent to any third party designated by a Federal or State Authority to evaluate a federal- or state-supported education program. The evaluation may relate to any program that is “principally engaged in the provision of education,” such as early childhood education and job training, as well as any program that is administered by an education agency or institution. Second, Federal and State Authorities may allow access to your education records and PII without your consent to researchers performing certain types of studies, in certain cases even when we object to or do not request such research.

Federal and State Authorities must obtain certain use-restriction and data security promises from the entities that they authorize to receive your PII, but the Authorities need not maintain direct control over such entities. In addition, in connection with Statewide Longitudinal Data Systems, State Authorities may collect, compile, permanently retain, and share without your consent PII from your education records, and they may track your participation in education and other programs by linking such PII to other personal information about you that they obtain from other Federal or State data sources, including workforce development, unemployment insurance, child welfare, juvenile justice, military service, and migrant student records systems.

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) affords students certain rights with respect to their education records. These rights include:

The right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education concerning alleged failures by the university to comply with the requirements of FERPA.

The right to inspect and review the student’s education records within 45 days of the day the university receives a request for access:

The name and address of the office that administers FERPA is:

A student should submit to the registrar, dean, head of the academic department, or other appropriate official, a written request that identifies the record(s) the student wishes to inspect. The university official will make arrangements for access and notify the student of the time and place where the records may be inspected. If the records are not maintained by the university official to whom the request was submitted, that official shall advise the student of the correct official to whom the request should be addressed.

The right to request the amendment of the student’s education records that the student believes are inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise in violation of the student’s privacy rights under FERPA: A student who wishes to ask the university to amend a record should write to the university official responsible for the record, clearly identify the part of the record the student wants changed, and specify why, in the student’s opinion, it should be changed.

If the university decides not to amend the record as requested, the university will notify the student in writing of the decision and the student’s right to a hearing regarding the request for amendment. Additional information regarding the hearing procedures will be provided to the student when notified of the right to a hearing.

The Student Right to Know Act The New School discloses information about the persistence of undergraduate students pursuing degrees at this institution. This data is made available to all students and prospective students as required by the Student Right to Know Act. During the 2012–2013 academic year, the university reports the “persistence rate” for the year 2011 (i.e., the percentage of all freshmen studying full time in fall 2011 who were still studying full time in the same degree programs in fall 2012). This information can be found under the common data set information. Visit the Office of Institutional Research at www.newschool.edu/admin/oir for more information.

The right to provide written consent before the university discloses personally identifiable information from the student’s education records, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent: The university discloses education records without a student’s prior written consent under the FERPA exception for disclosure to school officials with legitimate educational interests. A school official is a person employed by the university in an administrative, supervisory, academic or research, or support staff position (including law enforcement unit personnel and health services staff); a person or company with whom the university has contracted as its agent to provide a service instead of university employees or officials (such as an attorney, auditor, or collection agent); a person serving on the New School Board of Trustees; or a student serving on an official committee, such as a disciplinary or grievance committee, or assisting another school official in performing his or her tasks. A school official has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review an education record in order to fulfill his or her professional responsibilities for the university.
