CUNY historians Mike Wallace and Edwin G. Burroughs won the 1999 Pulitzer Prize for Gotham, their sweeping history of New York City through 1898. Nearly 20 years later, Wallace is getting early acclaim for his eagerly awaited, and equally epic, next volume – Greater Gotham. The indefatigable historian – a distinguished professor at John Jay College of Criminal Justice and The CUNY Graduate Center – tells the story of the two decades through World War I that transformed the city, seemingly overnight, into the global metropolis it is today.

CUNY’s Cathy Davidson thinks so. The director of the Futures Initiative at The Graduate Center, and an influential voice in American education, Davidson argues that college as we know it was conceived for an earlier era and needs to be wholly reimagined for today’s “ever more complex and bewildering world.” She offers a roadmap for reboot in The New Education: How to Revolutionize the University to Prepare Students for a World in Flux.
