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.
What is nonfiction and how can can I focus on it at Lang? Students in our nonfiction program write in a variety of modes – creative nonfiction, essays, reportage, memoir, travel writing, graphic novels, poetic texts, cultural critiques, “think pieces,” and hybrid work that can’t easily be categorized. Sometimes they tell their own stories, and sometimes they tell stories they find in the wider world, or explore ideas.
