The Consortium was founded by Dr. Arien Mack, Alfred and Monette Marrow Professor of Psychology at The New School for Social Research, where she has edited Social Research since 1970. She established the Social Research conference series in 1988, and she continues to direct it through the Center for Public Scholarship at the New School.
Mack is also the founder and director of the New School’s Journal Donation Project, which operated from 1990 when the Berlin Wall came down until the end of 2018.
