Specific areas of focus may include such topics as First Amendment freedoms (speech, press, free exercise, Church-state), racial equality, immigrants’ rights, criminal justice, economic justice, reproductive and women’s rights, and LGBTQ rights. Materials describing the Program and the selection process are available on the NYU Hays website. Professors Helen Hershkoff and Alexis Karteron will direct the Program in 2025–2026.
