Society, Culture, and Global Perspectives (SCGP)

Humanities and Social Sciences has changed its name to Society, Culture, and Global Perspectives (SCGP)

We work with students and faculty in the social sciences and area studies to advance teaching, learning, research, scholarship, and the arts at NYU and beyond. Below are some ways we can support you.

Get Reference and Research Help

Contact us to help answer your reference and research questions. Email any one of us individually based on your topic. Alternatively, email the entire department at SCGP@nyu.edu and a librarian who specializes in your subject area will respond.

Request a Research Consultation

Meet one-on-one (in person or virtually) with a subject librarian to discuss a research project or paper on which you’re working. Email any one of us individually to set up an appointment. Please include a description of your project or topic in your email. Alternatively, email the entire department at SCGP@nyu.edu to be assigned a librarian.

Request a Purchase

Send us your purchase requests for library materials. We can help acquire books, journals, films, datasets, databases, and possibly other types of resources for Bobst Library’s Main Collection. Depending on the subject matter, email any one of us individually. Alternatively, email the entire department at SCGP@nyu.edu and a librarian who specializes in your subject area will respond.

Request a Library Instruction Session

If you are an instructor, schedule a discipline-specific library instruction session (in class or virtually) for a course that you are teaching. Depending on the course’s subject matter, email any one of us individually. Alternatively, email the entire department at SCGP@nyu.edu to be assigned a librarian.
