DRAMA FACULTY MEMBER RECEIVES HELEN MERRILL PLAYWRITING AWARD
New School for Drama playwriting faculty member, Michael Weller, received the Helen Merrill Award for Distinguished Playwrights. The honor recognizes Weller’s contributions to playwriting, as well as provides a financial award for continued work and projects.
“I don't know who specifically chose me, or why exactly,” Weller says, “but, I’m extremely honored to be recognized.” The award is managed by the New York Community Trust, and award director Gay Young said that often this award comes as a surprise to its recipients and is meant as a gesture of appreciation and encouragement.
The award was established in honor of the late Helen Merrill, an influential theatrical agent who advanced the careers of many playwrights, directors, and designers in the American theater, including playwrights Christopher Durang, Albert Innaurato, Richard Greenberg, Paul Rudnick and David Henry Hwang, among others. The designers she represented included Ming Cho Lee, George Tsypin, Tony Straiges, Paul Gallo, and William Ivey Long, and among her directors were Anne Bogart, Jerry Zaks, Christopher Ashley, Michael Greif and Lisa Peterson.
Weller’s plays have been performed at major theatres in America and around the world. Best known are Moonchildren, Fishing, Loose Ends, Spoils of War, and What the Night is For, which had a production in the West End starring Gillian Anderson and Roger Allam. His films include Hair and Ragtime (for Milos Forman) and Lost Angels (for Hugh Hudson), and a television film based on his play Spoils of War. His play Beast premiered at the New York Theatre Workshop last season, directed by Jo Bonney, and a second new play of his, 50 Words, also premiered at the Lucille Lortel Theatre, starring Elizabeth Marvel, directed by Austin Pendleton. A musical based on the Boris Pasternak novel Dr Zhivago, for which he wrote the book (Des McAnuff to direct, Lucy Simon music, Amy Powers and Michael Korie lyrics), is scheduled to open in 2010, and he is currently working with Taylor Hackford on a musical (Rumors) about the making of Fleetwood Mac’s two legendary breakthrough albums.
His work has won an Academy Award nomination, an N.A.A.C.P. Outstanding Contribution Award, Critics Outer Circle Award, a Rockefeller Foundation Grant, and a Kennedy Center Fund for New American Plays Award, and he has been honored by the Broken Watch Theatre Company, which names their playhouse in his honor. He is on the counsel of the Writer’s Guild of America Foundation, East, Inc, and serves as a mentor for their Iraqi War Veterans Writing Project. He is also on the board of the Dramatists Guild of America.

NEWS FROM MILANO THE NEW SCHOOL FOR MANAGEMENT AND URBAN POLICY
A NEW LANDSCAPE: CAN NEW YORK CITY KEEP AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN SIGHT?
The current economic turmoil is taking a tremendous toll. Home foreclosures are on the rise, market-rate condominium sales have stalled, owners of overleveraged developments are defaulting, and unemployment is increasing. This panel, hosted by the Center for New York City Affairs on Wednesday, September 16, explores the impact of the economic crisis on housing in New York City. Panelists will consider questions like: How are neighborhoods faring in the recession? Will Mayor Bloomberg’s market-driven incentives continue to work? Are there sufficient government resources to take advantage of declining real estate costs and other opportunities? What’s working, and what’s next?
The panel will be moderated by Manny Fernandez, reporter for the New York Times. It will include Rafael Cestero, commissioner of the New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development; Martin Dunn, president of Dunn Development Corporation; Gary Hattem, managing director of the Community Development Finance Group, Deutsche Bank Americas Foundation; and Ismene Speliotis, executive director of New York ACORN Housing Company, Inc.
The panel is supported by the Milano Foundation and the Sirus Fund and will take place from 8:30 to 10:30 a.m. in the Theresa Lang Community and Student Center, located in Arnhold Hall, 55 West 13th Street, 2nd floor. Admission is free, but seating is limited and reservations are required. To reserve a spot, call 212.229.5418 or email centernyc@newschool.edu.
NEWS FROM THE INDIA CHINA INSTITUTE
INDIA CHINA INSTITUTE LAUNCHES A THIRD FELLOWSHIP IN SOCIAL INNOVATION FOR SUSTAINABLE ENVIRONMENTS
The India China Institute (ICI) at The New School has announced the third round of its signature fellowship program, choosing as its theme “Social Innovation for Sustainable Environments.” A total of six fellows, two each from China, India and The New School, will be chosen for the program, which runs from January 2010 to June 2012.
The program seeks to build on ICI’s previous fellowships, including the 2006 to 2008 cohort focusing on “Urbanization and Globalization,” and the 2008 to 2010 program on “Prosperity and Inequality.” This third round of the fellowship takes advantage of the unique history and strengths of The New School in social sciences, design, and environment, as well as over 30 distinguished ICI Fellows.
The new Fellowship Program will focus on addressing the complex and interconnected problems associated with climate change and environmental sustainability. Social innovation will aim to develop creative solutions, skills, knowledge, and entrepreneurship as drivers to mitigate and overcome multi-faceted challenges and achieve environmental sustainability. Through collaborative research and debates, fellows will critically examine definitions and parameters of both social innovation and sustainability in India and China, and prompt a three-way dialogue that includes perspectives from the Unites States. The fellows’ work will develop ways to reframe policymaking and implementation, reinvigorate local governance, and redirect material flows and market forces that would have direct or indirect impact on the environment.
The Fellowship award amounts to approximately $40,000 in research, travel and support funds.
The India China Institute was established in 2004, and is emerging as the hub of an international network of institutions and activities that nurture conversations about India, China, and the United States and deepen our understanding of global processes. Made possible in part by a generous $10 million grant from the Starr Foundation, ICI is committed to analyzing major issues and trends in India, China, and the United States and helping leaders, managers, public intellectuals, and opinion builders in all three countries address key challenges through collaborative solutions.

PUBLIC HEALTH CHALLENGES FOR THE 21ST CENTURY:
THE GLOBAL AND NATIONAL LANDSCAPE
IS INEQUALITY MAKING US SICK?
Though many believe that health is a human right, health disparities are posing increasingly complex challenges to policy makers, health care providers, and human rights workers. Interdisciplinary Science and Race and Ethnicity Programs of Eugene Lang College will be hosting a year-long series of events that highlight these challenges, present innovative solutions, and demonstrate the growing need for a public health workforce capable of using an interdisciplinary lens that addresses the biological and social determinants that influence health outcomes.
The first event “Is Inequality Making Us Sick?” will be held on Wednesday, September 9, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. In response to recent reports highlighting the escalating and disproportionate rates of disease in low-income communities, leading scholars will explore the role that social determinants of health play in this ever-increasing health gap. A special screening and panel discussion of the PBS series Unnatural Causes: Is Inequality Making Us Sick? will be held with invited speakers including, Alondra Nelson, assistant professor of Sociology, African American Studies and American Studies, Yale; Samuel K. Roberts, associate professor of History, Columbia University; and Ferentz La Fargue, assistant professor of Literature and Ethnicity Studies, Lang College, The New School for Liberal Arts.

NEWS FROM PARSONS THE NEW SCHOOL FOR DESIGN
PARSONS COLLABORATES WITH CESARE PACIOTTI FOR FASHION'S NIGHT OUT
On September 10, as part of Fashion's Night Out, Cesare Paciotti, the legendary shoe and accessory designer, will debut its first collaboration with Parsons The New School for Design, a shoe designed by recent graduate Kwame Brako through a competition held this past spring.
The competition was developed to teach students about the inner workings of shoe design from a master craftsman. The School of Fashion at Parsons is currently developing a special track in accessories design, which will be offered alongside current tracks in women's wear, menswear, and children's wear. Last spring, 18 fashion design students submitted shoe design concepts, and from that 18, five finalists were chosen to create a capsule collection. Of the five finalists, Brako's shoe was selected to be manufactured and will debut at the Cesare Paciotti boutique on Madison Avenue in conjunction with Fashion’s Night Out. In addition, the shoe will be featured in Cesare Paciotti’s boutiques in Beverly Hills and Bal Harbour.
“Our relationship with Parsons is a partnership that I hold very dearly,” said Paciotti. “Parsons is an exceptional educational resource that is able to produce so many industry assets. It is my personal honor to help hone the creative talents of our finalists with this international platform, designed to empower the students—and serve as a first step in realizing their design dreams.”

BY ANY NAME: INSTITUTIONAL MEMORY AT THE NEW SCHOOL:
A CALL FOR CONTENT FROM THE NEW SCHOOL COMMUNITY
This year, The New School commemorates its 90th anniversary. To mark the occasion, the Vera List Center for Art and Politics (VLC) is partnering with Parts & Labor Gallery (a nonprofit arts organization) in an exhibition examining the legacy of The New School’s founding principles in a contemporary context. The project is part of the VLC’s program cycle “Speculating on Change.”
Established by three New School alumni, Brooke Chroman, NSGS, BA program and Parsons, MFA, Fine Arts; Bryan Mesenbourg, Parsons, MFA, Fine Arts; and Meghan Roe, NSSR, MA, Liberal Studies, Parts & Labor Gallery is a mobile exhibition space housed in a renovated commercial box truck, rendered transparent by Plexiglas walls (see attached image files). From October 19 to 24, the gallery will be parked in the curb lane outside one of The New School’s buildings as a public installation, research and performance space. The installation—a reimagining of a New School university archive—will serve as a physical and symbolic framework for a series of lectures and discussions by The New School community, creating a forum for multidisciplinary debate about the university’s past in relation to its present and future incarnations.
In addition to the onsite programming, an exhibition catalog will be produced, and made available in the gallery in both print and electronic forms. This catalog will be composed of faculty, staff, and student statements (academic or creative, 500-word max) on the university’s legacy that reflect personal experiences at the institution, relevant scholarship, recent university events, etc. The hope is that many in the university community will contribute a statement to this publication. To help generate content, a questionnaire has been created. The New School community is welcome to answer all of these questions, use one as starting point for a short essay, or respond to them in any way you see fit.
If you have any questions about this project please contact the Vera List Center at 212.229.2436. All text responses (in Word-document form) and other supplementary material can be submitted by email.
The deadline for submissions is September 10, 2009
