The New School’s Spring 2023 Semester in Books
During the spring semester, dozens of compelling and critically acclaimed works were produced by The New School’s talented faculty authors. Ranging from insightful examinations of environmental injustice, political uprisings, and social justice to sublime poetry, enchanting children’s books, and enthralling fiction, their works continue to address a number of pressing social and cultural issues for both adults and young readers.
“Alongside their work as educators, scholars, artists, and practitioners, our faculty across the colleges are also accomplished and award-winning authors,” says Renée T. White, provost and executive vice president for Academic Affairs at The New School. “This list of recently published books by our faculty speaks to the incredible research, creativity, and spirit of innovation we have at the university, spanning nearly every discipline. Please join me in reading and celebrating the incredible work of our faculty.”
