Environmental Justice and Innovation
How do we achieve long-term sustainability, resiliency, and ecological and global justice, as well as sociopolitical and environmental change? Emerging professionals and action-oriented leaders come together in this master's program to share knowledge,
foster debate, and facilitate collaboration. We see community as central to our commitment to social justice and environmental concerns. In seeking systemic responses to the global crisis of inequality and climate change, we center on grassroots,
frontline community, and indigenous approaches.

Engaged Learning
At The New School, learning happens both inside and outside the classroom. New York City is our learning laboratory and home to many established and emerging environmental organizations addressing local and global environmental challenges. The Tishman
Environment and Design Center at The New School is a collaborative space where bold design, policy, and social justice approaches to the environment come together. The Tishman family generously funds the John L. Tishman Scholarship for continuing students, awarded on the basis of support for sustainability in the infrastructure and ecology of the greater New York area.
