Fall 2021
The Fall 2021 semester introduces an exciting line-up of events that build on the School’s ongoing exploration into issues such as climate change, social equity, as well as the impact of data and technology on the built environment through new forms of practices and collaboration across scales, modes of engagement, and geographies.
All events will be hybrid: Columbia University affiliates with a green pass may attend in-person, and the general public may join via webinar. The programming is free and open to the public. Please visit the School’s online calendar (times noted in ET) to learn more and register.

Thank You
Leah Cohen, Associate Dean for Development and Alumni Relations
Led by support from the School, alumni and friends helped raise nearly $300,000 for the GSAPP Emergency Fund last year, providing direct support for students with urgent and unexpected financial needs stemming from the pandemic.
This need remains heightened, with many students still experiencing great uncertainty and continued vulnerability. As a result, the GSAPP Emergency Fund has been extended for the 2021-2022 academic year.
Gifts to the GSAPP Emergency Fund help ensure that all our students thrive. For those in the fortunate position to be able to contribute, you may do so at this link.
The School appreciates the partnership of our GSAPP family to support students in the months ahead.

Nights of the Dispossessed: Riots Unbound
Edited by Natasha Ginwala, Gal Kirn, and Niloufar Tajeri
July 2021
Despite their often negative portrayals, it is undeniable that riots have played a pivotal role in the confrontation between authority and dissent. As master fictions of the sovereign nation-state implode, and the hegemonic silencing of the dispossessed reveals the cracks in governability, Nights of the Dispossessed: Riots Unbound brings together artistic works, political texts, critical urban analyses, and research projects from across the world in an endeavor to “sense,” chronicle, and think through recent riots and uprisings—evoking a phenomenology of the multitude and surplus population.

Art after Liberalism
By Nicholas Gamso
Forthcoming September 2021
Art after Liberalism is a study of creative practice at a moment of converging social crises, and an account of the possibilities that may emerge from these conditions. The essays in this book attempt to register how artists, art objects, and art institutions have served to consolidate liberal spatial formations—the nation-state, the global city, the public sphere—and to connect these formations to underlying structures of racial capitalism and settler colonialism. The book thus provides a range of speculations about political and social experience after liberal modernity.
