About us
The International Relations Society is an undergraduate club at New York University’s College of Arts and Science.
The IR Society partners with NYU’s Politics Department to bring together students who are passionate about international affairs, economics, and global events.
Through panels, discussions, and events, we aim to encourage interest in – and knowledge of – international affairs beyond the classroom. Some of our past events have explored women’s rights, education and immigration in Afghanistan, human trafficking, and landmines. IR Society alumni have gone on to work for the UN, Morgan Stanley, the Council on Foreign Relations, Human Rights Watch, CNN, and MSNBC, among others!
IR Insider is New York University’s student-run international relations publication, powered by the IR Society.
At the IR Insider, we produce up-to-date news and opinion articles on the day’s most important global issues. With nine regional sections and four topical sections, the Insider is a journalistic hub and go-to source for the international affairs you need to know. Bringing together writers and editors from a variety of backgrounds, perspectives, majors, and interests, the Insider tells today’s most breaking stories— from Baghdad to Berlin — through an analytical, yet digestible lens.
