New America NYC and the New America Fellows Program invite you to participate in a exploration of how human behavior and urban life interact with and shape each other. In a two-panel, cross-sector dialogue New America National Fellowswill be joined in conversation by MacArthur Fellows to consider how race, class, legal status, and other forms of marginalization inform how individuals experience the city—and the city experiences them.

Using locally-rooted stories from the speakers' own distinct fields, the conversation will shine a community-level lens on large-scale issues, observing how changes in design, technology, and law alter how we perceive our rights, define ourselves as neighbors, and seek out lasting change.
