The New School for Social Research

Encyclopedia : T : TH : THE : The New School for Social Research

"The New School for Social Research" was the official name of The New School between 1919 and 1997.

The New School for Social Research is the graduate division of The New School. It was founded in 1933 under the name of The University in Exile to be a haven for scholars who had been dismissed from teaching and government positions by totalitarian regimes in Europe. It was later renamed the Graduate Faculty of Political and Social Science, and bore this name until changing to its present one in 2005.

A kind of circle was completed when a francophone college started in Greenwich Village by Claude Lévi-Strauss while at The University in Exile became one of the leading institutions of research in Paris, the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales.
