The New School’s Spring 2024 Semester in Books

During the spring semester, The New School’s talented faculty authors continued to confront a number of pressing social and cultural issues in their published works, which include  a reexamination of the narratives told around immigration and race in the United States, a dissection of the relationship between infrastructure and socioeconomic inequality, and mathematical analyses of decisions, voting, and games. Works published range from fiction to children’s books to nonfiction.

Faculty members also produced a number of works during the fall 2023 semester.
