My primary reason for choosing the Media
Studies program at The New School was its
dual emphasis on theory and practice. I have
been shooting documentary video and hope to
build on my practical experience (particularly
in storytelling, research, and editing) while
developing a theoretical framewor within which
to wor. an came to the program from BarefootWorshops, a nonprot devoted to teaching documentary media
to individuals and NGO staff in the Ma an Nh fca.
One thing that struc me when I entered the
program was the regard held for students
by the faculty. We were told that we were
all colleagues and that it was our duty to
contribute to the eld. I am excited that Ive
entered this realm of academia where ideas
can be exchanged freely and new avenues
discovered. Ma Hay is a lmmaer.
My internship at CNN not only allowed me to
networ with industry professionals, it gave me
an insiders perspective of the news and media
industry that went well beyond what could be
learned in the classroom. Mchll m recentlycompleted a research internship at the CNN a n N Y Cy
THESTUDENTSCREATIVEAND CRITICALTHINkERSThe Media Studies program is designed to accommodate
students with a range of personal and career goals. Our students
are socially engaged scholars and innovators.
Each year, the students organize an academic conference,
Critical Themes in Media Studies, which brings together scholars
from all over the world. They publish Immediacy, an online journalon media and culture. They exhibit their projects at regularly
scheduled media shows: RUFF CUTS (wors-in-progress) and FINE
CUTS (nished wors).
Two annual juried exhibitions give students exposure to the
world of media outside the university: Mixed Messages, a
multimedia show, and the Hirshon Invitational Film Show. Wors
by our students have been exhibited at national and international
festivals and venues including Sundance, the Tribeca Film
Festival, the Margaret Mead Festival, and t he Museum of Modern
Art. Many have won pr izes such as Student Academy Awards.

THE FACULTYTHEORYMEETSPRACTICEThe New School is a relatively small and tightly nit academic
community. Students in the graduate program in Media Studies
develop close academic relationships with the faculty through
interactions in the classroom and collaboration on research and
production projects.
The Media Studies faculty includes scholars and practitioners
of the highest caliber: philosophers, sociologists, lmmaers,
producers, designers, musicians, entrepreneurs, and policy and
business consultants. The full-time faculty of 21 is supported byaround 50 part-time members whose scholarly, creative, and other
professional activities bring specialized nowledge and sills to
the program.
Learn more about our distinguished faculty and their
accomplishments at .nchl./ma.
The holistic approach to media and the
emphasis on combining theory and practice
are what drew me to The New School. My
experience in the program has broadened my
perspective, enabling me to mae multiple
connections across the eld. What maes
The New School unique is its commitment to
social concerns and the close interaction of the
schools across the university. Chan al,associate professor and director of graduate programs, is a media
theorist and a curator at the whny Mm f mcan
and other venues internationally. Her research interests include
digital cinema, the aesthetics of new media, and locative media
art. She describes herself as inspired by the power of media to
change peoples lives all over the world.
What inspires me as a media creator is
the possibility of discovering new and more
personal forms of expression. Teaching is a
logical connection, as I nd that my students,
for the most part, have amazing energy and
pure curiosity. Vla Nlc, associate professor, is ahighly regarded independent lm director and producer. His latest
feature lm, Here and There, has won a number of prizes, including
Best New Yor Narrative Award at the tbca Flm Fval.
The New School is about experimentation.
Faculty and students wor together to dene,
and often transgress, the boundaries of research
and creation. We combine the forces of social
scientists, humanities scholars, designers, and
policy experts. This interdisciplinary collaboration
maes for exciting classroom experiences and
research oppor tunities. shannn Man, assistantprofessor, teaches courses on media and public spaces, sound
and space, and formalism and material culture. She tr ies to
instill in her students The New Schools traditional commitment
to lining education to civic engagement and social justice. Her
personal research is motivated by a desire to understand the
contexts in which media operate and the way media theory and
contemporary art and architecture inform each other.
