On November 16th, 2022, the New School’s part-time faculty, represented by ACT-UAW 7902, voted to strike after contract negotiations with the administration broke down. The month-long labor action was exhausting and revealing, and left an indelible mark on the institution and its many shareholders. In the spring of 2023, students from the On Air: Radio/Podcasting course undertook to tell the story of the strike. This six-part program, Roar & Recovery, launches, fittingly, on Labor Day, with Part 1: Labor and the Legacy of Change.
