Description
Join us for a conversation with the acclaimed critic Greil Marcus' (Mystery Train, Lipstick Traces) about his new book The History of Rock 'N' Roll in Ten Songs, in which, in the wide-ranging fashion that has characterized his writing, Marcus picks ten songs that allow him to range over past and present, and to look at our culture now unexpected and startling new angles.

At New York University, we believe that journalism has a serious public mission, and can make a difference in the world. We want to educate those who agree. Opportunities abound in the media world, but the opportunity to do compelling work that informs, engages, and matters to the societies in which we live—this is what drives our faculty, motivates our students, and shapes our basic approach.
