- This video offers a glimpse of budding artists performing in the Astor Place subway station—as part of a midterm exam at NYU. Students in Bryonn Bain's "Microphone Fiends: Hip Hop & Spoken Word" course study text by poets from the Harlem Renaissance, the Black Arts Movement, and beyond—and then work on researching, writing, recording, producing, and performing their own original work. Bain, artist-in-residence and visiting associate professor at the Gallatin School, is a Nuyorican Grand Slam Poetry Champion, prison activist, BET talk show host, and hip hop/spoken word artist known for his one-man show "Lyrics from Lockdown" (executive produced by Gina and Harry Belafonte), a hip hop theater and multimedia production based on his wrongful incarceration. Bain is a graduate of Harvard Law School and NYU's Gallatin School.
"Damn Straight," the music featured in this video, was produced by Jachary, an alum of Bain's "Microphone Fiends" course.

Morrow, Jr. of the University of Georgia, profile the first unit of African Americans to fight in Europe during World War I. Some 70 percent of the soldiers hailed from northern Manhattan, earning them the nickname the "Harlem Rattlers." In all, 375,000 African Americans served in The Great War, changing the face of the U.S. military forever. See Sammons speak about the book, and the 369th Regiment, in a C-Span lecture below:

- Description
- Since the 1960s, many in the United States have dreamt of a "color blind" society, where we are all simply individuals rather than representatives of racial or cultural groups. In workplaces, especially, this idea has been the dominant model for encouraging diversity and inclusion.
But in their new book, The Color Bind: Talking (and Not Talking) About Race at Work, Erica Foldy, associate professor of public and nonprofit management at the Wagner School, and her co-author, CUNY's Tamara Buckley, question that premise, making a case that the "color blind" approach can actually reinforce existing racial hierarchies. Drawing on their two-and-a-half-year study of employees at a child welfare agency, Foldy and Buckley investigate race relations in office settings to show how a different strategy, which they call "color cognizance"—the practice of recognizing the profound impact of race and ethnicity on any experience—can help workers move beyond uncomfortable silences.

11 million undocumented people live in the United States. 4.3 million people are on the wait list for family-based visas and 113,058 waiting for employment-based visas — nearly 4.5 million in the overall backlog.

But what did they believe? How did they view the world? Did they conceive of the beautiful objects they made as art?
These are the questions at the heart of Masters of Fire: Copper Age Art From Israel, a current NYU Institute for the Study of the Ancient World exhibit displaying 157 items from the Chalcolithic Era (4500-3600 BCE)—otherwise known as the Copper Age. Thanks to loans from the Israel Antiquities Authority and the Israel Museum, Jerusalem, this exhibition presents the fullest array of Copper Age material to ever leave Israel.

- Write a letter, stick it in an envelope addressed to "Juliet, Verona," and you may get some sage advice in return. Yep, that's right—before "Dear Abby," there was "Dear Juliet": In 1937, an Italian municipal secretary named Ettore Solimani became the first "secretary" to Shakespeare's most famous lovelorn heroine, and later on the ladies of the Club di Giulietta took over answering her correspondence. Since 1989 they've amassed an archive of more than 50,000 letters touching on themes from illness and war to infidelity and interracial romance. Gallatin professor Lise Friedman's 2006 book on the phenomenon, Letters to Juliet, which she wrote with her sister Ceil Friedman, became the inspiration for a 2010 film, starring Amanda Seyfried, of the same name. In honor of Valentine's Day, Professor Friedman sat down with NYU Stories to talk about the enduring appeal of Romeo and Juliet and the crazy things we do for love all year long.

But 80WSE's "DEVOTION: Excavating Bob Mizer," the world's first major show of the artist's work, reveals that the erotica he published in his magazine Physique Pictorial represented just one of many genres Mizer pursued over the course of 50 years.

As a scientific consultant for the Spike TV series 10 Million Dollar Bigfoot Bounty—which he co-hosts with former "Superman" Dean Cain—Disotell works with nine teams of monster hunters competing to find physical evidence of Bigfoot, defined as a previously undiscovered non-human primate. He employs a portable lab to analyze DNA from hair or feces collected by contestants—and most often identifies its true source as a bear, say, or a deer. Could Bigfoot really be out there? Disotell is skeptical, but he points out that the methods he uses on the show are the the same ones many scientists use daily in their DNA research on real-world plants, bacteria, and animals—including primates like us.

News was once a nightly newscast for average Americans with a television set, but today it has become a 24/7 hub of information and constant updates -- thanks to news networks and the internet. And now, with innovations in social media, the broad public has a say in the conversation. With a panel of experts, we discussed whether increased access to news leads to public enlightenment or oversaturation. How has our world changed since the days of a three news network society, and has it changed for the better?
This discussion at New York University's Washington D.C. campus considered how public participation has changed the American media market, the news we consume, and the news that is produced today.

This year, the Stern Class of 2017 sought a match for Sheldon Mba, a college student from North Carolina who was diagnosed with aplastic anemia, a bone disorder that inhibits the production of blood. In addition to attempting to find Sheldon a bone marrow match, Stern students also made an impact nationally by registering thousands of potential donors.

- NYU's Institute for the Study of the Ancient World presents
Measuring and Mapping Space: Geographic Knowledge in Greco-Roman Antiquity
October 4, 2013 - January 5, 2014
Measuring and Mapping Space explores the ways in which ancient Greek and Roman societies understood, perceived, and visualized both the known and the unknown areas of their world. It brings together more than forty objects, combining ancient artifacts with Medieval and Renaissance manuscripts and printed books that draw upon ancient geographic treatises. Together, they provide a fascinating overview of Greco-Roman theories of the shape and size of the Earth, ancient methods of surveying and measuring land, and the ways in which geography was used in Roman political propaganda. A specially designed multimedia display examines the increasing importance of modern technologies in mapping the ancient world.
The exhibition is open from 11am - 6pm Tuesdays through Sundays. Late hour...
