A home for progressive thought and pedagogy with a commitment to seminar-style teaching and learning, Lang has an open curriculum, in which students craft their own learning experiences and maximize the counsel of faculty. Lang’s faculty embrace interdisciplinary teaching and seminar-based pedagogy, incorporating principles of social justice and equity in their research, creative practice, and shared work with students. Lang students take courses across The New School and may pursue joint BA/BFA and BA/MA degrees; Lang faculty actively collaborate with colleagues across the university.

At Lang, social justice is the ethical core of a liberal arts education. The college is committed to ensuring an equitable, inclusive, and socially just environment for our students, staff, and faculty. That commitment requires recruiting students, staff, and faculty who reflect the diversity of thought, experiences, and identities of our global society. It also requires pedagogy, policies, and practices that institutionalize the values of equity, inclusion, and social justice.

 

The New School is strongly committed to diversity and inclusion in the workplace and particularly seeks applications from members of underrepresented groups, as well as candidates who share this commitment.
