International Affairs at The New School stands out from other programs for its unique blend of pedagogical and scholarly commitments: A critical and global perspective: We believe that international affairs cannot be understood solely from a U.S. perspective or through conventional lenses. We are committed to critical thinking and to a global perspective. Engaged learning: Following the tradition of John Dewey, we believe that theory and practice must be intimately linked. We bring practical problems into the classroom and provide students with a variety of opportunities for in-depth long-term field-based learning. Social research: At GPIA we know that scholars and practitioners in international affairs need more than technical skills. They also need an in-depth understanding of history and politics and the tools of social research that are central to the tradition of The New School for Social Research. Location, location, location: New York City presents unparalleled opportunities for new scholars, practitioners, and activists interested in international issues. GPIA is committed to serving as your gateway to this quintessential global city. An intimate learning environment: We believe that good graduate education cannot take place through large lectures or a rigid program of study. Our classes are small. Members of our faculty are accessible. And our program is flexible - you can shape your program of study to match your interests.
