Original tape date: March 1, 2024. First aired: April 1, 2024.On this episode of CUNY Laureates, we profile another three MacArthur Fellows who graduated from the City University of New York. Maggie Nelson’s genre-bending books were shaped by her early years in New York City and at the Graduate Center. Elliot Sperling’s wanderlust as a youth started him on a journey to become one of the world’s preeminent scholars of Tibetan history. And we learn how Peter Jeffery’s passion for Gregorian chants led to a lifetime of research in the field of musicology.
