LEED stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design. It is a benchmark developed by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) to rate design, construction, and operation of buildings and communities.

LEED Certification provides independent verification that a structure or set of structures was designed and built according to established high standards for human and environmental wellbeing, such as sustainable site development, water savings, energy efficiency, materials selection, and indoor environmental quality. LEED Certification is the most widely recognized global standard for building healthy and sustainable built environments.

LEED Green Associate is the first step to becoming a LEED AP (Accredited Professional). The Green Building Certification Institute created the category of Green Associate based on individual knowledge of the environmental issues that frame each category in the LEED rating systems. Although LEED focuses on design and construction, many other professional practices are coming to depend on understanding of the LEED system. This course thoroughly reviews the objectives of the LEED green building rating system and its environmental benefits. Participants review the main LEED categories and the principles of LEED rating for Sustainable Sites, Water Efficiency, Energy and Atmosphere, Materials and Resources, Indoor Environmental Quality, Innovation in Design, and Regional Priority.

Students who complete the workshop become eligible to take the LEED Green Associate examination. Becoming a Green Associate can open up many jobs in which sustainability research and management are important, as more firms revise their business practices to take account of these values. (noncredit) Campaign Management Bootcamp NMGT 0123 A 4 sessions. Tuesdays, 6:00–9:30 p.m., April 30-May 21. Noncredit tuition $400.

Thinking about running for political office or working on a candidate’s campaign? Take this intensive four-week workshop led by Professor Jeff Smith, a former Missouri State senator and veteran of many urban election campaigns.

Professor Smith is joined by well-known practitioners from the local and national political arenas. Workshop sessions cover all aspects of campaign management, beginning with the decision to run. You learn how to create a campaign strategy, budget, and fundraising plan, the nuts and bolts of candidate advance, press relations, polling, and targeted advertising including how to leverage new media and data analytics, and, most important, how to get out the vote.

Glynn Torres-Spelliscy

As the world becomes more and more integrated and communities become global, we, as both observers and participants, face the challenge of understanding complex issues of international politics and law. Although it may be daunting, understanding critical policy issues has never been more important. Headlines and news bulletins may call attention to the latest events, but they often fail to provide sufficient background information to allow ordinary citizens to understand what led to the day’s crises and to analyze possible responses and outcomes. The goal of this course is to give students the critical skills they need to participate in informed and constructive examination of current policies and policy choices. After an introduction to the methodology of foreign policy analysis, we focus on global issues in three broad categories: conflict, security and terrorism; globalization and the international economy; and international human rights and justice. Through lectures and visual presentations, students learn about geographical and geostrategic factors that contribute to the political crises under examination. We then discuss current problems in each category, and students work to develop solutions and present them to the class. (3 credits) Understanding Economics NECO2001 A 9 weeks, June 3 thru Aug. 2. Noncredit tuition $650.

Jonathan Cogliano

This course is an introduction to economics and the problems it addresses.

We begin with a brief analysis of the historical conditions that led to the emergence of capitalism to gain an understanding of its defining characteristics and the way the questions addressed by economics took shape. These questions are examined through the lives and works of prominent economists (Adam Smith, David Ricardo, Karl Marx, Alfred Marshall, John Maynard Keynes, Joseph Schumpeter). We look at questions like: How does society reproduce itself? How is economic output produced and distributed? How can seemingly disorganized markets achieve growth?

We then examine these economists’ theories and the problems addressed by economics in light of modern economies and recent case studies. These analyses shed light on the problems modern economies face concerning employment, working conditions, financial markets, institutional structures, and the role of governments, allowing them to be understood in greater depth and in historical context. No background in economics is required for this course. (3 credits)

Fiore Sireci

In the 17th and 18th centuries, Western thinkers fiercely questioned the world around them. They were engaged in an ambitious project: to understand the physical universe, world societies, and the workings of the human mind. Their explorations launched the scientific and academic disciplines as we know them today, such as psychology, modern medicine, sociology, and modern history. “Dare to know” is how one philosopher summed up the spirit of the Enlightenment. This course encourages a similar spirit of intensive study and honest debate. Readings include Francis Bacon, Voltaire, John Locke, Isaac Newton, Alexander Pope, François Diderot, Benjamin Franklin, and Mary Shelley. (3 credits)

In Brazil in the 1960s, a time of political turmoil, the theater director, writer, and politician Augusto Boal developed a set of principles and practices of public political education called Theater of the Oppressed.

This methodology uses theater to challenge the social status quo by subverting the Aristotelian dramatic model of actors acting and audiences passively watching. Theater of the Oppressed has been taken up by activists worldwide as a tool to raise awareness of relations of power in communities, to problematize those relations, and to encourage public dialogue and political action, with the goal, ultimately, of bringing about radical social change. We study a number of social theorists and dramatists whose works have informed this practice, including Paulo Freire, Bertolt Brecht, Antonin Artaud, Mikhail Bakhtin, Dario Fo, Karl Marx, Antonio Gramsci, bell hooks, and Harold Garfinkel. Using case studies, we trace the way practitioners worldwide have interpreted Boal’s work and developed it further, creating Theatre for Development, Applied Theatre, Communitybased Theatre, and Drama Research. Not least, we study some of Boal’s techniques and create social-political theater together, as a way of grappling with its ethical and pragmatic challenges.

ONLINE

Sheena Nahm

How should we look at sport? Is it play? Leisure? Pastime? This course offers students an introduction to critical perspectives on sport. We examine its cultural, social, political, and economic dimensions and ask: How should we understand people’s intense identification with particular sports teams and the collective experience of fandom? Why are so many people invested in sport as a cultural activity? What does it represent, for whom, and why? We first examine early anthropological studies of sport and move on to explore modern sport and its relationship to political movements, processes of globalization, labor migration, and social hierarchies. Assignments and class discussions draw on ethnographies, sports studies, films, critical theory, and contemporary media. (3 credits) Cultures of Madness NANT3639 A 15 sessions.

Julienne Obadia

Why do we do the things we do? Why do we feel the things we feel? Can any behavior truly be called crazy? Through a mix of readings, this course introduces concepts, theories, and methods related to the study of culture and human behavior. In this era of globalization, where contact between people from different lands and cultures is more the norm than the exception, an understanding of the role culture plays in personal decision making, group belief systems, and culture-bound expressions of suffering is critical. Texts exploring the anthropology of psychology and medicine provide the class with a framework within which to examine the intersection of culture and interpretations of irrationality and abnormality.

Ilaina Goldwert

As a subject of intellectual inquiry, psychology spans the histories of many cultures, but since antiquity, psychological interpretation has revolved around recurring themes. When philosophers, naturalists, and other scholars began to divide into separate academic departments in the 19th century, psychology, with much fanfare, sought recognition as a separate discipline. Its goals were, and are, the explanation of memory, emotion, perception, consciousness, learning, motivation, personality, development, and social influence. These fundamentals of the field are the topics of this course. (3 credits) Theories of Personality NPSY3401 A 15 sessions. Mon. & Wed., 6:00–7:50 p.m., beg. June 3. Noncredit tuition $650.

Kristin Nelson

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) Illicit Substance Use in the United States NPSY3142 A 9 weeks, June 3 thru Aug. 2. Noncredit tuition $650.

Shira Schuster

Illicit drugs have a long and controversial history in the United States, from the days of opium houses and cocaine in soda to Prohibition and mandatory sentencing. This course is an overview of the use and abuse of illicit drugs and the role they play in our society. We explore the physiological mechanisms associated with drug use, abuse, and addiction; the classification, evaluation, and diagnosis of drug use, abuse, and addiction; theoretical understandings of addiction; and approaches to addiction treatment. We also examine the social and historical context of drug use and abuse, the theoretical and political issues around drug use, and the complex interaction of context, culture, gender, and class.

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.

Melissa Rachleff Burtt

The study of art collecting and curation encompasses art history, history, sociology, and art education. This class focuses on the societal role of museums, especially the display of material culture. Of particular concern is the public experience—the ways museums design for different audiences and the ways objects are experienced within installation designs. The course is organized into four themes: Private Display: Wealth and the Ideology of Taste; Presenting Modern Art; Shifting Values: Challenging Institutions; and The Politics of Display: Design Debates. Several class sessions are held at New York City museums. These on-site sessions will be announced at the first session; some may require admission fees, which students must pay on their own.

The Skyscraper City NARH3870 A 9 weeks, June 3 thru Aug. 2. Noncredit tuition $650.

ONLINE

Emily Bills

The skyscraper, emblem of the modern city, is a form of architecture both celebrated and vilified in the popular imagination. Mythologized in film and literature but often little noticed in our daily lives, these tall buildings offer many themes for historical and critical exploration. This course investigates skyscraper designs, both realized and imagined, from the earliest towers in Chicago to the most recent grandiose iterations in Asia and the Middle East. We look closely at innovations in tectonics, from the steel frame to contemporary “green” tower construction. We also review debates about aesthetics, safety, and symbolism. Metaphorical notions of the tower as an urbanized mountain peak or a cathedral of capitalism round out our investigation. Course material is presented through image-based lectures, film clips, literature, and guest speakers. (3 credits) Black Manhattan: A Cultural History of New York City NHUM3030 A 15 sessions. Mon. & Wed., 8:00–9:50 p.m., beg. June 3. Noncredit tuition $650.

Glenn Reynolds

This course focuses on the rich history of African-American culture in New York City beginning with the slavery period in the Dutch colony of New Amsterdam. We look at the pre–Civil War struggles in the Black community in the years following statewide emancipation, culminating in the New York Draft Riots. We then trace the rise of the Harlem Renaissance and its influence across the nation and around the globe. We pay particular attention to the ways women and Caribbean immigrants helped shape one of the most dynamic and creative periods in American history. In the final sessions, we explore the role of African-Americans in World War II and the 1940s racial violence in Harlem—which helped ignite the modern civil rights movement—as well as the political and public roles of Malcolm X, Adam Clayton Powell, Al Sharpton, and others. (3 credits) NEW Dance and Music: The Divine Relationship NMUS2500 A 10 sessions. Tues. & Thurs., 6:00–7:50 p.m., beg. June 4. Noncredit tuition $440.

William Moulton

In all types of dance, it is the relationship of music and movement that draws us in. This course examines continuities and changes in the ageold connection of dance and music in traditions including ballet, modern dance, and popular dance. We focus on the cross-fertilization of styles and cultures: What do hip-hop and Balanchine have in common? Where do Pina Bausch, German modern dancer and choreographer, and Bob Fosse, American choreographer and dancer and actor, intersect? In all cases, what makes the interaction of music and movement so powerful? We address the fact that dance is experienced and taught person to person, with traditions and knowledge passed down orally and through demonstration rather than in writing. How does this system of instruction and performance influence the art? We study mainly recorded rehearsals and performances, but we spend two class sessions (scheduled for 8:00 p.m.) taking advantage of New York City’s extensive summer dance offerings by attending live performances (venues and dates to be arranged; cost of tickets not included in tuition).

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)

The works of Mark Twain offer rich commentary on 19th-century American culture, in addition to their intrinsic aesthetic merits. American humor, which at the time was still close to its folkloric origins, is integral to Twain’s writing. We begin by considering the shaggy dog story “The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County” and the outlandish burlesque and social commentary of Roughing It. We then turn to Twain’s Mississippi River writings from the period of his greatest literary success. Old Times on the Mississippi describes Sam Clemens’ days as a cub pilot. Twain further mines his youth for Tom Sawyer, an idyllic celebration of childhood (and a subtle, ironic depiction of the American dream), and Huckleberry Finn, a poignant quest for moral certainty in a corrupt world. Episodes of rollicking humor carry much of the narrative in all three works, but the comedy grows darker and the satire sharper in each successive work. (1 credit)

Contemporary Fiction: Short Novels for a Long Hot Summer NLIT2520 A 15 sessions. Tues. & Thurs., 4:00–5:50 p.m., beg. June 4. Noncredit tuition $650.

Margaret Boe Birns

We discuss recent important short novels and novellas by emerging novelists as well as established authors considered central to contemporary literature’s cultural conversation. With settings that range from Chile to Australia, the United States, Estonia, England, and Saudi Arabia, these novels have been chosen for their diverse and inventive narrative strategies, their psychological acuity, and their insights into both contemporary life and the human condition. Readings include Roberto Bolaño, Distant Star; Denis Johnson, Train Dreams; E.L. Doctorow, Homer and Langley; Julie Otsuka, The Buddha in the Attic; Tim Winton, Breath; Helen Schulman, This Beautiful Life; Dave Eggers, Hologram for the King; Jesmyn Ward, Salvage the Bones; Don DeLillo, Falling Man; Julian Barnes, The Sense of an Ending; Edward St. Aubyn, At Last; Sophie Oksanen, Purge; and Niccolo Ammaniti, Me and You.

Nicholas Birns

In this course, students read and analyze major novels and short stories of the 20th century—a period when the literature of Latin America attained maturity and began to influence readers and writers worldwide. We study the diverse schools and tendencies of this literature, including the marvelous real and magical realism of Cuban Alejo Carpentier and Colombian Gabriel García Márquez, whose writing frequently reflects the cultural history of the Caribbean; the combination of high modernism and realism characteristic of Peru’s Mario Vargas Llosa; and the innovative fantastic literature of Argentina’s Jorge Luis Borges. Students develop an understanding of the historical and cultural background of Latin American literature, its evolution during the 20th century, and the stylistic heterogeneity that is one of its defining characteristics. Additional authors may be read, including Carlos Fuentes (Mexico), Eduardo Halfón (Guatemala), Clarice Lispector (Brazil), and Roberto Bolaño (Chile and Mexico). (3 credits)

Abigail Burnham Bloom

England’s Victorian Age (1832–1901) was an era of industry and selfreflection that changed society and fostered productivity and literary creativity. The emergence of a receptive audience with time to read made the novel widely popular. We examine great novels by great writers as works of creative fiction, as a reflection of their times, and as universally acknowledged masterpieces. We observe how the concerns of the age (the past, religion, the class system, the place of women, industrialization, and colonialization) are explored in the novel. We also look at the history, critical reception, and popular adaptations of these novels. Readings include Wuthering Heights (1847), Great Expectations (1861), Treasure Island (1882), and Jude the Obscure (1895). (3 credits)

Steven Milowitz

Simple questions of subjectivity and bias and complex philosophical questions about the nature of reality make any attempt to identify truth problematic. The current fascination with the real—reality television, political nonfiction and documentary, memorial making, memoir—reflects not merely our voyeurism and craving for gossip but our deeper longing for clarity, our need to make sense of our world and of ourselves. We investigate the ways writers (Truman Capote, Alice Sebold, Philip Roth, Dave Eggers, James Bradley, Lauren Slater), photographers (Weegee, Robert Adams, Robert Capa, August Sander), journalists (Janet Malcolm, Anthony Lewis, A.M. Rosenthal, Anna Quindlen), filmmakers (Michael Moore, Ken Burns), and architects (Maya Lin, James Ingo Freed) attempt to order and re-order their worlds. We evaluate their methodologies and their crafting skills, uncovering, finally, how they have represented and how they have altered the reality they set out to reveal. (3 credits)

HUMANITIES

Rejection of Religion: Secularism in the Modern World NREL3700 A 15 sessions. Tues. & Thurs., 6:00–7:50 p.m., beg. June 4. Noncredit tuition $650.

Luis Guzmán

This course sheds historical light on the concept of secularism as the basis for the study of contemporary political points of contention, such as the spread of religious affairs into the public sphere, the rise of fundamentalism, and minority rights. The class examines and questions the self-image of the West as a secularist society by focusing on various criticisms of this selfunderstanding—and of the notion of secularism itself. Readings include Kant, Hegel, Carl Schmitt, Karl Lowith, Hans Blumenberg, Talal Asad, and Charles Taylor. (3 credits)

American Horror Film Screening Series NFLM0465

NEW Hip-Hop to Dubstep: International Music Styles and the Remix NCOM3039 A 9 weeks. June 3 thru Aug. 2. Noncredit tuition $650.

ONLINE

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. In the 1960s, this music was appropriated in the Caribbean and gave birth to new styles: calypso, ska, reggae, and dub. The development of these styles then 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. (3 credits) To Die For: The American Horror Film from 1968 to 1980 NFLM3465 A 15 sessions. Tues. & Thurs., 6:00–10:00 p.m., beg. June 4; includes screening series below. Noncredit tuition $650.

John Freitas

The American horror film is conceived in gothic romance, informed by German expressionism, and nurtured by blood, capitalism, and Freud.

At its best, it mirrors and explores the age-old struggle of the individual with morality, religion, and society to define the self and one’s societal role. From the beginning, horror films made in the United States reflected the American subconscious, with its deep roots in Puritanism. The genre reached a tumultuous peak in the films of the late 1960s and 1970s, which vividly convey the social, sexual, and political upheavals of the period. In this course, we study films made in the 1960s by diverse masters of horror such as Peter Bogdanovich, John Carpenter, Wes Craven, Bob Clark, Brian DePalma, William Friedkin, Tobe Hooper, Roman Polanski, and George Romero. We focus on the roles of men, women, and children and on notions of family, hearth, and home in the collective psyche as re-created, reflected, upheld, questioned, and subverted in the films. Through a comprehensive comparative analysis, we examine, from both conservative and progressive perspectives, the complex themes of moral and societal upheaval conveyed by each film. (3 credits)

A range of practical and theoretical issues related to film aesthetics are explored as we study the many ways directors combine the elements of film to produce expressive and singular works of art, striving to create the perfect balance or integration of form and content. The class considers the essential properties of the medium—mise-en-scène, cinematography, editing, and sound—as exemplified in selected motion pictures. Filmmakers discussed include Atom Egoyan, Robert Bresson, Fernando Meirelles, Jean-Luc Godard, Werner Herzog, Alfred Hitchcock, Abbas Kiarostami, Terrence Malick, Orson Welles, and Wong Kar-Wai. This course is ideal both for students who wish to learn how to analyze cinematic texts and for production-oriented students taking Filmmaking Studio or related courses.

Learn the difference between a screenplay and a shooting script and where to place the camera to get the effect you want. This intensive three-day course is based on the teaching method of the late Alexander Mackendrick, the legendary Hollywood director and dean of the CalArts film school. It is a practical approach designed specifically for college students. The method focuses on the two primary tasks confronting the film director: structuring and writing the story you want to tell and using devices specific to the medium of film to tell your story as effectively as possible. The workshop begins with an illustrated lecture by a leading expert on Mackendrick’s techniques, featuring archival interviews with Mackendrick and extensive commentary and analysis of scenes from key films. Students learn the fundamentals of dramatic construction, classical screenplay structure, visual storytelling, working with actors, and film grammar. Open discussion is encouraged at all times as the class explores topics ranging from dramatic principles of irony, exposition, character development, theme, and dialogue to specific aspects of film craft such as the “obligatory scene,” clarity and ambiguity, suspense and tension, fuses and foreshadowing, and mise-enscène and montage. Students are expected to produce two pieces of written work: a treatment and a short script. To see a detailed syllabus before you register, go to www.alexandermackendrick.com. (2 credits) Filmmaking Studio 1 NFLM3660 A 15 sessions. Tues. & Thurs., 7:00–9:40 p.m., beg. June 4. Noncredit tuition $1,440.

Six required courses must be taken sequentially or concurrently, as indicated:

Instructor to be announced

• The Art of Film

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)

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)

Affordable and professional desktop editing software has given filmmakers at all levels an economical and time-efficient way to edit their films using the same tools as the pros. Creating transitions, filters, titles, layered audio, and multiple versions has been made simple. But just knowing how to use the software is not enough. Understanding editing conventions and the aesthetics of montage, continuity, and pacing is equally important. This course offers a conceptual and technical introduction to motion picture postproduction and nonlinear editing. Students learn both technical skills and filmmaking principles through lectures, demonstrations, and hands-on exercises. They are acquainted with workflow and digital video formats as well as the basic functionality of Avid Media Composer. Using their own footage, students learn techniques for organizing media, editing picture and sound, and outputting to various formats. Note: This course is taught on the Macintosh platform. Bring digital video footage ready to edit and a firewire drive to the first session. This course is not intended for certificate students completing a Film 3 project. (3 credits)

Students can take screenwriting courses for undergraduate credit or on a noncredit basis. For those interested in a structured program of study, The New School offers a certificate (see below). The certificate curriculum has been cooperatively designed by our distinguished faculty to create a cohesive program for the serious student. Upon completing the core sequence of screenwriting courses, students have a comprehensive grounding in story, character, theme, action, visuals, and dialogue, as they have been carefully guided through the entire screenplay writing process.

Early registration is strongly advised. In order to ensure the quality of each course, enrollment is strictly limited. If a desired course is filled, call 212.229.8903 for advising.

Certificate in Screenwriting The New School awards a Certificate in Screenwriting for successful completion of six approved courses. The certificate program is open to committed students with or without previous experience. There is no formal admission process, but students will need the permission of the instructor or a School of Media Studies advisor to register for Screenwriting 2 and 3. Upon completion of the sequence of courses, students should have a professional-quality screenplay ready for the marketplace. Four required courses must be taken sequentially: • Script Analysis • Screenwriting 1: Fundamentals • Screenwriting 2: Writing the Screenplay • Screenwriting 3: Finishing the First Draft Students select two courses from the Film Studies or Media and Film Business curriculum to complete the certificate program. The certificate program can be completed in four academic terms (including summer term), but a longer course of study is acceptable.

Certificate approval for each course is based on attendance and participation, comprehension of ideas and techniques, and quality of the final project.

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. Students end the term with the ability to analyze any film script and apply that knowledge to their own screenwriting. (3 credits) Screenwriting 1: Fundamentals NSRW3810 A 15 sessions.

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.

This short, intensive workshop is designed for both prospective and professional script writers who wish to adapt their craft for emerging creative markets in digital media. The art and science of storytelling has been changed forever by transmedia narrative, a single story or experience designed to cross multiple electronic platforms and digital formats.

Professional writers, marketers, and anyone writing for contemporary media must learn to reapply traditional storytelling techniques in the context of this omnichannel world. In the workshop, we study, analyze, and critically discuss the evolution of audiovisual narrative strategies from Shakespeare to Spielberg and Spotify. From this foundation, students can map the new story systems of emerging media and develop systems of their own. The workshop addresses questions such as: How can traditional narrative techniques be adapted for cutting-edge digital storytelling? What does the structure of a transmedia story even look like? Can an omnichannel new media experience be made as engaging as a Hollywood film? Do new media require new narrative strategies? Students look for answers to these questions while they work in teams developing a treatment for an original omnichannel narrative in consultation with guest industry experts. At the conclusion of the workshop, the teams practice pitching their projects to the rest of the class. (1 credit) TV Sitcom Writing 1 NSRW3842 A 9 weeks, June 3 thru Aug. 2. Noncredit tuition $760.

The New School has been a vital forum for writing since 1931, when Gorham Munson, a member of the Stieglitz circle, on impulse initiated a workshop in creative writing.

In the early 1950s, critic Maxwell Geismar stated that “The New School has become the richest center of new fiction among all our colleges and universities.” Through eight decades of innovation, the New School writing faculty has included a diverse who’s who of American novelists, poets, and essayists, including Robert Frost, W. H. Auden, Robert Lowell, Amiri Baraka, Frank O’Hara, Kenneth Koch, Stanley Kunitz, Kay Boyle, May Sarton, Marguerite Young, Richard Yates, Edward Hoagland, Anatole Broyard, Carolyn Kizer, Bernadette Mayer, Pearl London, David Markson, and Gilbert Sorrentino.

It is a campus love story, a baseball drama, a throwback to old-fashioned Americana—or is it? Harbach adroitly paces the narrative, each suspenseful chapter leading to the next. Humor and sly observations are balanced by numerous literary references (Westish is a liberal arts college, after all). Harbach manages to give his characters cell phones and Google without these modern appurtenances detracting from his depiction of a tiny Midwestern snow-globe world. In the salon, we pick apart The Art of Fielding to gain an understanding of how a writer writes—how details, characters, settings, and plot are translated from the imagination to the page. Note: Read The Art of Fielding before the first meeting of the salon. (noncredit)

In his memoir, The Boy Kings of Texas, National Book Award finalist Domingo Martinez writes with uncommon precision about growing up in the hardscrabble border town of Brownsville, Texas. The family he depicts may be dysfunctional—alcoholism, violence, and neglect make frequent appearances in the narrative—but this is not a grim book. The most terrifying episodes can also be funny. The book is full of arresting moments, as when Martinez’s grandmother cracks eggs into a glass of water to look for omens. In the salon, we explore Martinez’s craft and his exploration of assimilation, machismo, racism, and poverty by focusing on specific chapters, like “The Mimis,” in which he describes his father’s trucking business going under while his teenage sisters pretend to be “two blue-blooded, trust-funded tennis bunnies from Connecticut” who find themselves with a poor Mexican family in Texas “by some Dickensian series of misfortunes.” Note: Read The Boy Kings of Texas before the first meeting of the salon.

Kathleen Ossip

Few writers have influenced the contemporary poetry landscape as profoundly as Jorie Graham. For almost 40 years, her remarkable mind and immense linguistic energy have illuminated what it means to be alive, to be human in the world. In her twelfth book, Place, Graham confronts the seeming inevitability of ecological and political ruin while insisting on the importance of being present to possibility in particular spaces and times.

Places where possibility becomes reality—Omaha Beach (the site of the D-Day invasion), an unemployment line where a man waits for his number to be called—are subjected to the poet’s fierce questioning. Jorie Graham has received a MacArthur Fellowship and the Morton Dauwen Zabel Award from the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters. Her book The Dream of a Unified Field won the 1996 Pulitzer Prize for Poetry.

Graham served as chancellor of the Academy of American Poets from 1997 to 2003. Note: Read Place before the first meeting of the salon. (noncredit)

Pulphead is an often brilliant collection of essays, all published previously in magazines, including GQ, Harper’s, Oxford American, and the Paris Review.

It brings together some of the best writing of a singularly talented storyteller and essayist, whose subtly modulated voice and choice of language have been compared to those of David Foster Wallace. Sullivan is a consummate observer and listener who thoughtfully considers subjects including Michael Jackson, Axl Rose, Andrew Lytle, Christian rock, MTV’s The Real World, John Fahey, and caves. The collection includes some of the best long-form journalism recently published in the United States and showcases the style of an essayist whose work we will likely read for many years to come. Sullivan is a Whiting Award winner whose 2004 debut book, Blood Horses: Notes of a Sportswriter’s Son, received critical acclaim. He is the Southern editor of the Paris Review. Note: Read Pulphead before the first meeting of the salon. (noncredit) Literary Salon: Ben Lerner NWRW0551 A 3 sessions. Mon. thru Wed., 6:00–7:50 p.m., beg. June 17.

Karen McKinnon

In Leaving the Atocha Station, Ben Lerner employs pathos and intelligence to evoke the anxiety of art in contemporary life. Detached, funny, and desperately dependent on optional realities, his narrator navigates the demands of the Fulbright Foundation, the horrific 2004 Madrid train bombings, and the urgency of writing at a time that both transforms and is transformed by writing. In the salon, we explore narrative unreliability and attachment along with other pleasurable contradictions of the novel.

Ben Lerner is the author of three books of poetry: The Lichtenberg Figures, Angle of Yaw, and Mean Free Path. He is a winner of the Believer Award and the Hayden Carruth Award, a finalist for the National Book Award, and the first American to win the prestigious Preis der Stadt Münster für Internationale Poesie.

The study of effective English prose makes the sentence its principal focus.

In this course, designed to meet the needs of beginning writers, we examine the sentence, looking at syntax, the parts of speech, and other aspects of grammar. Later we look ahead to considerations of effectiveness and style. Chapters from a grammar and style textbook are assigned. Students workshop short writing assignments weekly. They look at what is correct versus what is incorrect and when rules should be broken, how language changes, how context determines choices, and how these choices develop into a style. Note: Students for whom English is a foreign language should take the relevant English as a second language course instead of this course. (3 credits) Academic Writing NWRW1104 A 15 sessions.

To read Our Andromeda, Brenda Shaughnessy’s third book of poems, is to witness a brilliant intelligence throwing off sparks. Shaughnessy writes about the oddities of desire and the imaginative space between experience and inner life. Her poems take on subjects as varied as the tarot, the process of making art, and the malleability of identity. She also writes about new motherhood and having a child who was injured during birth.

The collection culminates in a monumental love poem to her son, “Our Andromeda.” In the salon, we read these poems closely and discuss our critical and aesthetic responses. Brenda Shaughnessy received a James Laughlin Award from the Academy of American Poets and has been a National Book Critics Circle Award finalist. She is poetry editor-at-large for Tin House.

Beginning and advanced writers work on dismantling silences in their lives and generating poems from personal experience. We work in a safe, functional community to open hidden places within ourselves. The heretical Gospel According to Thomas says, “If you do not bring forth that which is within you, that which is within you will destroy you. 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.

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, we consider character development, dialogue, point of view, and significant detail. Attention is also paid to recognizing good ideas, developing stories, finding the best structure, and honing 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)

Fiction Writing: Creating a Compelling Narrative NWRW3315

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)

What keeps the reader engaged in the 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) Advanced Fiction Writing: Revise and Polish NWRW4310 A 15 sessions.

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.

Students explore selected forms of creative nonfiction: the personal essay, reportage, biography, travel writing, food writing, profile, memoir, and linked fragments. The use of dialogue, setting, characterization, plot, and narrative voice is emphasized. The discipline of writing regularly is encouraged and supported through the assignment of short weekly exercises. Students are also assigned longer pieces that are workshopped in class. 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)

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)

The class also discusses what makes a memoir publishable and fruitful ways of working with agents and editors. (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.

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.

Teaching English Teachers NELT0601 Gabriel Diaz Maggioli

Teaching Younger Learners NELT0602 Gabriel Diaz Maggioli, Chair Caitlin Morgan, Director

English has become the language of international communication; command of spoken and written English is important in business, the arts, and other professions all over the world. The demand for ESL courses and trained ESL teachers continues to grow. The mission of English Language Studies at The New School is to address this demand by offering high-quality courses in English language instruction and teacher training.

Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages Language institutes in the United States and around the world are looking for native or near-native English speakers trained to teach the language; the demand for them continues to grow. There are adult language programs throughout the country in need of properly trained staff to work with immigrants. Also, thousands of foreign students come to the United States each year to study, and many colleges now have ESL programs that hire instructors regularly. In addition, many people living, studying, or working in the United States employ private tutors to help them with their English.

In short, training in English language teaching can prepare you for a wide variety of careers at home and abroad.

Master of Arts in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages The New School offers the master of arts degree in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) with concentrations in teaching and curriculum development. For more information, visit the website at www. newschool.edu/matesol. For a printed brochure, call the Office of Admission at 212.229.5630 or email nsadmissions@newschool.edu.

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.

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)

Drinking History: Fifteen Beverages That Shaped America NFDS2102 A 15 sessions. Mon. & Wed., 6:00–7:50 p.m., beg. June 3. Noncredit tuition $650.

Andrew F. Smith

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 Coca-Cola? 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 rum runners, soda manufacturers, coffee moguls, cocktail inventors, temperance preachers, prohibitionists, health advocates, and hard-hitting advertisers, all of whom contributed to the contentious American drinkscape of the 21st century.

Governance of the contemporary food system is complex and rapidly evolving. As cities, regions, and nations deal with concerns about safety, security, environmental impact, and climate change affecting food supply and distribution, the governance of food and farming systems is being reexamined and modified. Designed to follow other policy and food justice classes, this course is conducted in an applied studio format. After learning about basic food governance principles, practices, and models, students research and analyze food governance at the local, regional, and national levels. The class examines the work of New York City community boards on food policy, the evolution of governance frameworks involving local and regional planning authorities, and the emerging “food federalism.” (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.

38

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 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 ­programs 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 ­bio­logical sciences, ­education, 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, ­seminars, and courses have examined most of the important national and ­international issues of our time.

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. For individuals with hearing impairments, EEOC’s TDD number is 212.741.3080.

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 ­descriptions.

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 ­person. Schedule an advising appointment with Academic Services: 212.229.5615; academicservices@newschool.edu.

General credit tuition for courses in this catalog is $1,130 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 ­program should file the Petition for Certificate form available at the Registrar’s Office. Certificates are conferred in January, May, and August.

International Student Services helps international students help themselves through printed handouts, orientations, and workshops, and individual advice and support. Before registering, all international students are required to attend an orientation and check in with International Student Services to confirm that they have been properly admitted into the United States and to review their rights, responsibilities, and regulations.

Visit the website at www.newschool.edu/studentservices.

Students develop their programs from the hundreds of courses described in this bulletin and other courses open to degree students only. Visit the website to see a current list of courses. In addition, they may select courses offered by Eugene Lang College The New School for Liberal Arts, Parsons The New School for Design, and Mannes College The New School for Music Extension. Advanced undergraduates and those approved for a bachelor’s/master’s option can take graduate courses offered in Media Studies or International Affairs or other graduate programs of the university.

Every student in the New School for Public Engagement’s Undergraduate Program is responsible for organizing the course offerings of The New School into a coherent academic program. To do so requires thoughtful planning and consideration of a ­variety of options. Each student forms a strong relationship with a faculty advisor with whom s/he talks through options, gains access to the full range of curricular resources available in the university, and shapes a group of courses into a coherent program suited to individual needs and interests.

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

Students who have disabilities are encouraged to self-identify. While there is no deadline by which to identify oneself as having a disability, early disclosure helps ensure that reasonable accommodations can be made prior to the start of the student’s courses. 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.

ABOUT THE NEW SCHOOL

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.

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).

Admission to Class The New School reserves the right to deny a person admission to or ­continuance in its courses of study.

All persons wishing to attend any course at The New School must be properly registered. Students should be prepared to show a valid Statement/Schedule to the instructor or designated faculty services ­assistant for admission to any class. Possession of a current New School student ID card does not entitle the bearer to attend any particular course or session of a course.

For classroom locations visit my.newschool.edu and select the Class Finder link (do not log in). Classrooms are also posted daily in the lobby at 66 West 12th Street. See the last page of this catalog for more information.

Instructions for accessing online courses will be mailed to you.

ABOUT THE NEW SCHOOL

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.

If your photo ID has been lost or stolen, call the Campus Card Services Office, 212.229.5660 x4472, to check if the card has been returned. There is a fee to replace a lost or stolen ID card.

If you withdraw from your courses, The New School may terminate your student privileges, including access to university buildings and resources.

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.

Visit www.newschool.edu/publicprograms, call 212.229.5353, or email specialprograms@newschool.edu for more information about New School events that are open to the public.

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 Box Office accepts cash and MasterCard, Visa, Discover, and American Express credit cards. Students and alumni with a valid university ID card can obtain free tickets to most special events by presenting their ID at the Box Office.

Other University Policies The board of trustees has adopted policies on Free Exchange of Ideas and Freedom of Artistic Expression, Discriminatory Harassment, Sexual Harassment, Alcohol and Illegal Drugs, Smoking, and University-Wide Disciplinary Procedures, among others. Copies of these policies are available on the website at www.newschool.edu/studentservices/rights/other-policies and from the Office of Student Services.

A Request for Grade of Incomplete Form must be completed and signed by student and instructor. 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. Grades of “I” not revised in the prescribed time will be recorded as a final grade of “WF” by the Registrar’s Office.

It ­differs from “F,” which would indicate that the student technically completed requirements but that the level of work did not qualify for a passing grade.

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 ­attendance 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 ­separate 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.

48

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.

Family Policy Compliance Office U.S. Department of Education 400 Maryland Ave. SW Washington, DC 20202–4605

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.
