The Zolberg Institute on Migration and Mobility at The New School supports critical and applied scholarship on issues of migration and mobility, and fosters opportunities for meaningful action.

The Institute is a preeminent space for leading academics, practitioners and policymakers to reframe the discussion of migration and mobility, and the impact it has on human rights, economics, borders, and mobility. We bring together a diverse set of talents and skills from The New School community to rethink human mobility in innovative ways, advancing debates about migration and claims for social justice.
