Public Programs And Events

Join the Tishman Environment and Design Center for an interactive showcase of community-based participatory research led by New School faculty and students addressing the impacts of climate change and other environmental threats to community well-being and social justice. Faculty grant winners and student scholars will share their Tishman Center-funded research that applies policy, design, and social justice to address current and future environmental issues generated by the ever-increasing impacts of climate change. This day-long festival will highlight the work of faculty and students from across the university, as well as their community partners.
