Description
In the second episode of Women’s Legacy, a historical feminist project, we look into the life of Clara Mayer. Mayer played a crucial role in the founding of The New School, but despite spending four decades at the university with roles spanning from student to director to dean, her contributions have gone largely unknown. In partnership with the Women’s Legacy Project, we’re sharing the stories of numerous little-known but leading women, each of whom helped craft The New School’s rich history. Voiceover: Celeste Sena (GA Theater ’20) Music: Stefania deKennessey (Professor of Music) Faculty (in order of appearance): Savanna Washington (Professor of Media Studies) Julia Foulkes (Professor of History) Gina Walker (Professor of Women’s Studies & Director of The New Historia) Ellen Freeberg (Associate Dean of The New School for Social Research) Interviews with Julia Foulkes in the Orozco Room at The New School were shot and edited by Will Lucas and Anomie Williams. Interviews with Eva Haller and Margie Loeb at the Loeb-Mayer House were shot and edited by Will Lucas and Anomie Williams. All of these interviews were directed by Cecilia Rubino.
