## Anthropology

Friedlander received a [PhD](/source/PhD) from the [University of Chicago](/source/University_of_Chicago) in 1973.[3] She is best known for her 1975 work *Being Indian in [Hueyapan](/source/Hueyapan)*,[4] a study of indigenous [Latin American](/source/Latin_American) life and [culture](/source/Hueyapan#Ethnography) in [Hueyapan](/source/Hueyapan), Mexico, and her 1990 *[Vilna](/source/Vilna) on the [Seine](/source/Seine)* about Jewish intellectuals in France.[5][6] In the late 2010s, Friedlander worked on a book on the history of The New School entitled *A Light in Dark Times: The New School for Social Research and Its University in Exile*, released in February 2019.[7] In the 1930s and 1940s, a group of Jewish scholars, mostly from Germany and France, and mostly social scientists, came to the US as refugees and began working at the New School. A number of these scholars, particularly those with expertise in politics, social theory and economic policy, went on to serve in the Roosevelt Administration.[7]
