Marking the 200th birthday of Charlotte Brontë in 2016, illustrator Santiago Caruso took on the task of bringing out the haunting elements of Jane Eyre for the Folio Society edition.
“The biggest challenge was to show Jane’s strong spirit, so the artists that have created a classical view of her. I wanted to materialise the poetry of the writing into the reality of the characters. To produce that effect, I emphasised dramatic elements to obtain some surreal shock, distorting the perception of reality.”

Ann Snitow May 9, 1943-August 10, 2019 Ann Snitow, a founding faculty member of Lang College and the creator of the Gender Studies Program at the New School, passed away on August 10, 2019. She was a beloved member of the Literary Studies faculty. While indeed her books and essays are crucial texts in feminist studies and in the life of the mind, as Literary Studies colleagues our remembrances here are more personal, testaments not just to her work but to the power of her being.

This year’s Afrofuturism Conference—happening April 29 to May 1 in New York—will be a series of “art happenings, performances, lectures, panels, workshops, film music, scholarly works, and community events” organized by students from The New School. Like last year, the conference will explore “Afrofuturism as a cultural and aesthetic movement for the radical emancipation of people of color,” but with a particular focus on virality.
