Brooklyn Institute for Social Research
The Brooklyn Institute for Social Research (BISR) is an independent academic organization founded in 2011. Its mission is to extend liberal arts education and research beyond the borders of the traditional university, supporting community education needs and opening up new possibilities for scholarship in the 21st century. Every season BISR offers a new series of theory courses at the Goethe-Institut, with a focus on critical thinking in the German philosophical tradition.
All BISR courses are four-week seminars taught by their collaborative, interdisciplinary faculty and capped at 20 students each. Enrollment is through BISR directly.
