Gosh, NYC has so much history; it’s surreal if you can see it all in one place. Unfortunately, it’s rare to see it all in one place. Much of the Native American presence has been erased, so it’s hard to notice. The only place I can remember seeing it is at the National Museum of […]

NYC Publishing Field School Reflection
Our trip to New York was an overall amazing learning experience for me. Not only did I get to learn about a new city, but I also got to learn from professionals in the publishing industry.

My Day in New York: Wednesday May 10, 2023
I started my day the same way I aimed to start all my days in New York, with breakfast at a nearby bakery. The morning walk to the bakery is always so refreshing and quickly became my favorite part of the morning, that is, when I was able to get myself out of bed early […]
What I’ve Learned
I cannot believe how much I’ve been able to learn from this course and what encounters I’ve experienced as a result of this trip and our meetings.

Exploring the Met
While I did visit a couple of museums while I was in New York, the one that I found most interesting was the Metropolitan Museum of Art, aka the Met. It was particularly fascinating to me due to the wide range of pieces within it. On one hand, the Egyptian exhibit was uncomfortable, especially due […]
New York and Its Traces
For many, when we think about New York City, we think about the peak of modernity, the place where innovation happens, and new things are created. We think about the idea of the modern city life, of what it means to be a modern person, and we think about the “city that never sleeps.” There […]
Reflecting on Our Publishing Meetings
Our publishing field school’s trip to New York City was one of the most fulfilling trips that I have ever been on because it gave me the opportunity to briefly immerse myself in the vast world of publishing to gain a better understanding of where I feel I belong within it. We met with five […]
Ways to Travel in New York City
Given the opportunity to visit New York City for 10 days, I wanted to make the most of it and see as much of the city as I could, but learning to navigate a new place in a short amount of time seemed challenging. As a GSU student who lives on campus in Atlanta, I […]
