The New School is a progressive urban university where the walls between disciplines are dissolved, so that journalists can collaborate with designers, architects with social researchers, media specialists with activists, poets with musicians.
The Global Urban Futures Project is housed under the Milano School of International Affairs, Management and Urban Policy.
Milano’s international studies, urban policy, and management school programs engage students in addressing major social, economic, environmental, and political problems in real time. Our innovative and interdisciplinary curriculum brings together an extraordinary faculty and motivated students to facilitate social change through project-based fieldwork.
The Observatory on Latin America (OLA) is part of the Studley Graduate Program of International Affairs, Milano School of International Affairs, Management and Urban Policy, The New School. This space was created in 2006 with the aim of generating new opportunities for multiple narratives and public debate about reform and the process of change occurring in the hemisphere. The broad theme of the OLA is “Social Democracy in a globalized world: anticipating the future in Latin America.” Our goal is to improve academic and public understanding by observing and studying the political and economic change in the region.
