Articles cover various fields of the social sciences and the humanities and thus promote the interdisciplinary aims that have characterized The New School for Social Research since its inception. The themes selected are current, often pressing issues in world society.

The conferences aimed to enhance public understanding of critical and contested issues by exploring them in broad historical and cultural contexts.
