Radical Pedagogies & Arts-Based Organizing

Graduate Study Abroad Course

This program is closed and is no longer accepting applications. Visit our Graduate Study Abroad page to learn about our available study abroad opportunities for graduate students. If you have any questions, please send them to steinhardt.global@nyu.edu.

In this course, students will actively explore and analyze transformational art-making with experts and communities in Los Angeles.

In the first few days of the course, students are oriented to the scene of art-based organizing work in Los Angeles, California. Students will then gain in-depth experience working with the staff from LA Commons. There will also be virtual visits from community experts, who will discuss the impact & efficacy of arts-driven interventions, especially as they pertain to justice, resistance, reconciliation, & transformation. 

This course will interrogate theatre through a wide-angle lens — homing in on its inherent interdisciplinarity & evolutionary capacity as participants critically examine both presumed & potential functions of the discipline in site-specific contexts.
