Civic Engagement

CIVIC ENGAGEMENT |
Eugene Lang College is committed to civic engagement and social justice in a liberal arts framework. Civic engagement is the practice of reciprocal and self-reflexive intervention that brings communities into contact with each other and creates spaces where the relationship between power, knowledge, and social action can be studied. Civic engagement can include a wide continuum of interventions, ranging from community service to social issues activism to critical pedagogies. Civic engagement is integral to a liberal arts education, but a liberal arts education is integral to fostering forms of civic engagement that are attentive and responsive to shifting social and political conditions.
At Lang social justice is considered the ethical core of liberal arts education, so learning through civic engagement is much more than volunteer work. It integrates purposeful public service with academic grounding, instruction, and reflection.

Sustainability

SUSTAINABILITY | http://www.newschool.edu/interdisciplinary-ugrad

The New School, located in the heart of New York City, has developed innovative, interdisciplinary undergraduate programs that examine some of the 21st century's greatest challenges—globalization, urbanism, social justice, and sustainability—in order to give students the skills they will need to succeed in a global marketplace.

The programs in Global Studies, the Urban (including Urban Design and Urban Studies), and Environmental Studies bring together undergraduate students from around the university, including Parsons The New School for Design, Eugene Lang College The New School for Liberal Arts, and The New School for Public Engagement. Students critically engage topics such as urban ecosystems, migration, the global economy, and social justice. Because of the interdisciplinary nature of the programs, students become adept at negotiating complex challenges from a range of perspectives at the intersections of theory, design, research, policy, and practice.

Students also benefit from the best The New School has to offer: faculty who are leaders in their fields and classrooms infused with the day-to-day life of New York City. Fascinating, complex, and rich with opportunity, New York City is a vibrant urban landscape that provides students with access to unparalleled resources for examining pressing social, environmental, and intellectual challenges.

Each program builds on the traditional New School strengths in design and social sciences, creating a truly innovative and unique undergraduate environment where students examine the nexus of global, design, environmental, and urban issues and graduate prepared to solve real challenges and identify new potentials in these rapidly growing and connected fields.

Center for Public Scholarship

The Center for Public Scholarship seeks to promote free inquiry and public discussion, bringing the best scholarship in and outside the academy to bear on the critical and contested issues of our times. The Social Research conference series, initiated in 1988 by Arien Mack, aims to enhance public understanding and influence ongoing debates about current social and political issues and to amplify the public voice of the Social Research journal.

Because we present our themes in their broad historical and cultural contexts, speakers at these conferences come from a wide range of disciplines with many different perspectives and kinds of expertise: historians, social scientists, natural scientists, and art historians routinely participate alongside legal theorists, policy makers, and journalists.

Public scholarship includes not only the media, the academy, and political leaders, but all who understand the urgency of an issue and wish to learn more—whether to influence public policy, educate others, or simply become more informed citizens. Therefore, Social Research conferences offer a unique atmosphere in which the public is invited to participate in the dialogue on critical and contested issues. The result is a vibrant discussion that reaches beyond the walls of the university.
