/about/

canon magazine is the sole interdisciplinary student-run magazine of the New School for Social Research. The magazine is an open forum for scholarship and perspectives for subjects in and out of academia. canon is not associated with any single discipline and uniquely aims to represent the scholarly passion of the entire NSSR student body.

canon magazine began in 1988 as a newsletter for what was then called the Graduate Faculty. Frustration over the university environment dominated those first few years … and to honor that, the newsletter was renamed Rant + Rave. Provocations reigned, as did angry letters about there being too many provocations.

By 1997, the publication was renamed canon, in an effort to embrace the diversity of work by the students and to quite literally rewrite the canon. The magazine was eventually published as a print issue twice a year. By 2007, canon had become an online forum for the best of student opinion and scholarship within the NSSR.

Opinions printed in canon are not necessarily those of the editors or of The New School for Social Research.
