The New School for Social Research

Crossing into the Spring 2021 semester like... Welcome back, NSSR! Wishing everyone a great first day.

Resharing these photos from the New School Archives today: These striking photos of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. were taken by Paul Seligman in connection wit...h a 1964 speech King gave during the American Race Crisis Lecture series at The New School. Thanks to a records transfer from Marketing and Communications, we digitized the images from the original 35mm negatives. We’re taking time today to reflect on the impact Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. had on not just the United States, but the world as whole. #MLKDay See more

What are the forces behind shaping these representations?... Explore these questions with articles from authors around the world and at NSSR, including Adam Brown, Associate Professor of Psychology, and Evan Neuwirth, Kendall Pfeffer, and Julia Superka (Psychology PhD students).
