Published in April and released in the United States by Farrar, Straus and Giroux and in the United Kingdom by Granta Books, Transcription delivers a haunting and intellectually provocative narrative that blends personal vulnerability with broader cultural critique. The novel follows a narrator navigating illness, memory, and the pervasive influence of digital technologies as he confronts the ways language, transcription, and mediation shape our understanding of reality. At once intimate and expansive, the book probes how we construct meaning鈥攁nd mislead ourselves鈥攖hrough the stories we tell about hunger, love, connection, and the body.

Fiammetta Rocco, chair of judges for the Political Fiction prize, praised the work, saying, 鈥淔or a book so slim, Transcription does so much. A forensic study of our insatiable appetite for new technology, it explores the unreliable stories we tell ourselves about hunger, love and connection.鈥�

Routledge has published , the first comprehensive academic study devoted to Lerner鈥檚 work. Co-edited by scholars Yannicke Chupin and Karim Daanoune, the volume brings together 14 essays by international critics and researchers examining Lerner鈥檚 contributions to contemporary literature, poetry, fiction, criticism, and artistic collaboration. The collection also includes an unpublished piece by Lerner, titled Erring Together.

A celebrated novelist, poet, essayist, and professor in the Department of English, Lerner has built a career exploring and challenging the boundaries between literary forms. The new volume argues that his work consistently crosses and redefines the lines between poetry and prose, narrative and criticism, and literature and other artistic media. According to the publisher, the book is the first study to situate Lerner鈥檚 writing within the broader field of contemporary intermedial and cross-genre literature.

The publication marks a notable milestone in Lerner鈥檚 career. Authors are accustomed to filling pages with words; few reach the point where hundreds of pages are devoted to understanding, analyzing, and debating those words. In a fitting twist for a writer whose work often reflects on authorship itself, Lerner now finds himself on the other side of the sentence.

Having just completed her coursework in December, Plush reflects on her journey back to higher education and the unexpected moments that made it possible.

You first came to 可乐视频 in 1999. What brought you here originally?
I was born and raised in Brooklyn and graduated from South Shore High School. Coming to 可乐视频 felt like the natural next step. I was a psychology major, and for a while I was doing pretty well. I remember one class in particular, Psych Statistics, just stopped me in my tracks. I tried it multiple times and couldn鈥檛 get past it. Also, life started happening. Responsibilities piled up, and I stepped away from school.

What happened after you stepped away?
I moved to New Jersey, got married, and had two children. I built a career as the director of a preschool and was doing well professionally. At that point, going back to school didn鈥檛 feel urgent. I was working, raising a family, and managing everything that comes with adult life. College felt like something I had already tried鈥攁nd moved on from.

But things changed. What was the turning point?
It started with a medical issue. I had a severe toothache, needed a root canal, and developed a dry socket afterward. The pain was intense, and I was prescribed opioid medication. I was hooked before I even realized it. That period led to a cascade of problems鈥攆amily tension, separation from my husband, and eventually losing my job when the preschool I worked at closed due to the casino shutdowns in Atlantic City.

How did you end up back in New York?
I needed a fresh start. I didn鈥檛 have a car anymore, I wasn鈥檛 working, and things in New Jersey had completely fallen apart. I came back to New York thinking I could rebuild. I thought I would stay with a cousin, and when that didn鈥檛 work out, I found myself homeless.

What was that experience like?
From 2017 to 2020, I lived on the streets of Manhattan, sleeping near 30th Street and Park Avenue. Not in shelters鈥攐n the sidewalk. It was an incredibly hard time. I was in an abusive relationship, cut off from my family, and just trying to survive day to day.

What changed your trajectory?
During the early days of the pandemic, a woman and her husband started coming around, handing out money to people on the street. She stopped to talk to me鈥攁nd kept coming back. Her name is Traci. She was a retired patent attorney and had started the College Education Milestone Foundation, in memory of her father. She got to know me and said I seemed more like the type to be doing The New York Times crossword puzzle. She told me I wasn鈥檛 what she expected. She didn鈥檛 just see a homeless person, she saw me.

How did education reenter the picture?
Once I was able to secure housing and leave an abusive situation, Traci asked if I鈥檇 ever consider going back to school. At first, it wasn鈥檛 even on my radar. Instead, we started by writing a book together about homelessness during the pandemic. That book, , ended up on The Wall Street Journal bestseller list. Writing came naturally to me. I鈥檝e always been strong in English鈥攎y mother was an English teacher鈥攁nd that project reminded me of what I was capable of.

Is that what led you back to 可乐视频?
Yes. Traci encouraged me to take a writing class, just to see how it felt. I breezed through it. That鈥檚 when I thought, maybe I can do this. With Traci鈥檚 support, I reapplied to 可乐视频 and was accepted in spring 2022.

What was it like returning as an older student?
Intimidating at first. I was clearly older than everyone else, sitting there with a notebook and pen while other students had tablets and fancy tech. But once I put my head down and focused on the work, it stopped mattering. Online classes helped a lot, too. They made it possible to balance everything without feeling so out of place.

Who supported you along the way at 可乐视频?
So many people. Gina Priolo [an associate director in the college鈥檚 Student Success Unit], Professor Roni Natov, [Associate] Professor Martha Nadell, and the late Professor Carey Harrison were all instrumental. They worked with me to retain as many credits as possible from my earlier years and helped me map out a realistic path to graduation. Professor Harrison, especially, really reignited my love for learning.

Where are you now鈥攁nd what鈥檚 next?
I have another book just released called . It picks up where my first book ends鈥攇oing back to school, caring for my father before he passed, and rebuilding my life.

I don鈥檛 know exactly what I鈥檒l do next, but I know it will involve writing, editing, or publishing.

What would you say to other adults considering a return to college?
I鈥檓 44 years old. It鈥檚 never too late to start again. You might be surprised by how flexible and supportive the process can be. If I can come back after everything I鈥檝e been through, it鈥檚 doable for a lot of people out there who think it isn鈥檛.

Tell us about your background.

I was born and raised in Chicago and its surrounding suburbs. My family owns and operates a church on the South Side of the city (my grandfather is the bishop, my mother the pastor). I flew the nest, dropped out of school, and moved to New York when I was 19 years old. Now I find myself here at 可乐视频, finishing the degree I started over 10 years ago at Illinois State University. I initially moved to the city to pursue acting and theater, but other avenues opened up to me. I found myself working as a storyteller and producer, and I鈥檝e been blessed to work across the industry, telling stories in multiple mediums鈥攆rom short and longform videos on the internet at places like VICE and BuzzFeed to documentaries for companies like HBO and Hulu. But I鈥檓 eager to get back to my first love: theater.

Why did you choose 可乐视频?

Honestly, proximity was my initial attraction. I live in Bed-Stuy, and it鈥檚 nothing for me to just hop on the B44 and jet to campus. The more I spoke to people about the school鈥攅veryone raved about its English Department, primarily creative writing. That paired with what I鈥檝e come to learn about the Theater Department, made the choice a practical one.

Why did you choose the creative writing program and what do you like most about it?

Before anything, I am a writer, a poet. Words and the bending of language are things I鈥檝e been doing before I even knew what I was doing. The core of everything I love and everything I鈥檓 good at lives on the foundation of my curiosity about words, language, and text. This was my entry point into theater. It鈥檚 what made it possible for me to explore documentaries and filmmaking. The key to conveying anything is the ability to tell a story, to harness language to do your will. All those years ago, during my first attempt to obtain a degree, I majored in theater鈥攁cting. This time around, it made more sense to pursue creative writing (playwriting), with a minor in acting.

Have you completed any internships, or received any grants, stipends, or scholarships from 可乐视频?

Most recently, I was selected for the Mellon Undergraduate Transfer Student Research Program, where I am developing a project on the intersections of performance, memoir, and poetry under the mentorship of Professor Rosamond S. King. The English Department awarded me the Louis Goodman Creative Writing Scholarship [overseen by the 可乐视频 Foundation] for an outstanding creative writing submission. I was a a paid program that places CUNY in arts and cultural institutions in New York City. Through that program I was paired with the . I was a , serving as a dramaturg for the Public Playwrights residency.听I was a Magner Career Center stipend winner; this funded a documentary project and work with an emerging New York City production company. I was chosen by to be a student ambassador connecting CUNY students with accessible, affordable theater experiences.

How do you envision your first year after graduating?

I would love to be workshopping and developing new works in and around the city, maybe even getting out of New York City, squatting elsewhere, and writing a play. I鈥檓 open.

If you had to convince another student like you to go to college here, what would you say?

The world runs on the backs of public school students. New York City shines because of public school students. It can pay to go to a public school. I would encourage anyone looking to further their education to look at what is available to them in their immediate communities and backyards. Enrichment is so accessible; all you have to do is reach for it.

Do you have any advice for your fellow students?

Two things. Take full advantage of the resources and facilities around you. Access such as this exists in very few places outside of academia or in our city. While they are available to you, not only use them, but maximize your use of them so that what you do or where you go next, you鈥檙e fully prepared because of the work you鈥檝e already done and the connections you made.

And two: There鈥檚 sooo much 鈥渇ree鈥� money on this campus鈥攆rom fellowships, stipends, endowments, etc. Deadlines are scary, but get on them. The only shots you miss are the ones you don鈥檛 take. If you don鈥檛 get it the first time, apply again, and again, and again. Someone is reading those applications; they are seeing your name. Some things may not come around immediately, maybe not even the third time, but you鈥檇 be shocked to learn that in many cases what you do now is setting you up for the sixth thing, the seventh. Get yourself out there.

English Department Chair Martha Nadell at a recent convening about AI.

Science fiction has long imagined artificial intelligence, but few could predict the scale and speed of its real-world impact. Today, AI is reshaping every sector, sparking both excitement and unease.

At 可乐视频, faculty and staff are navigating this transformation in real time. We spoke with three faculty experts鈥�Martha Nadell (English), MJ Robinson (Television, and Radio & Emerging Media), and Karen Stern-Gabbay (History, Roberta S. Matthews Center for Teaching and Learning)鈥攚ho shared how the college is responding.

Here, they discuss AI鈥檚 influence on classroom learning and how both learners and educators are preparing for an AI-driven future.鈥齊esponses have been edited for clarity.

What was the initial reaction to AI by your colleagues? 鈥�

Martha Nadell: Late in 2022, when ChatGPT first made headlines, academia seemed to lose its collective mind; the Great AI Panic of 2023 was about to begin. Some of my colleagues immediately went apocalyptic, imagining a world in which AI took over. A few were ready to have AI integrated, somehow, into their brains. But others stuck their heads in the sand and pretended it didn鈥檛 exist.

How have you seen AI take shape in the classroom?鈥��

Nadell: Early on, it was very easy to spot generative AI-produced work. ChatGPT was producing solidly mediocre work, C+ at best. The problems were obvious: deeply conventional language, workaday structures, and unoriginal thought. Some students were offloading their cognitive work to a pattern-matching machine, which could produce prose that possessed an air of authority, if only you didn鈥檛 read too closely.

MJ Robinson:鈥� As a journalism professor, I teach, per Phil Graham, that journalism is the first rough draft of history.鈥疭o, in one respect, the students I teach are writing the history of AI鈥攊n culture, society and their anticipated industry and practice but鈥攁nd here’s the difference: that technology can also be writing it with, or prompted by, them. So that’s an interesting conundrum.

I started including AI modules in my Journalism Capstone course in Spring 2023.鈥� From the beginning we were examining how journalism was covering the release of ChatGPT to the general public as well as interrogating how it was affecting the journalism industry itself and considering how these text-generating technologies will affect the future of journalism as an industry and a public good.

How should a college education prepare students for this new world?鈥��

Karen Stern-Gabbay: It is unclear what sorts of preparation students have for working with AI (agentive and otherwise) when they enter college. Colleges today, therefore, play a critical role in establishing expectations and setting rules for the game. We are uniquely positioned to encourage students to interrogate their assumptions about authorship and intellectual property, and to reinforce how essential it is to develop human skills (related to critical thinking, emotional intelligence, analog skills, etc.). College students have opportunities to practice responsible AI use inside classroom settings before these skills in the workplace.

Nadell: Universities are where critical thinking happens, and where students can recognize the limits of what AI is good at鈥損redicting the likelihood of common and formulaic arrangements of language and thought鈥攁nd can think through ethical quandaries with empathy.

How important is it to develop AI literacy among educators?

Robinson:鈥疻e will, shortly, be in a world where K-12 educators have been educated in the age of AI and teaching children with these technologies from a very early age. That’s going to make critical鈥疉I literacy even more important. Asking questions about why one is using generative AI for a particular task prior to using it, insisting upon human-in-the-loop processes, knowing what one does not know about these platforms鈥攖hese are key.

What have you and your colleagues been doing to enhance the understanding of AI on campus?鈥�

Stern-Gabbay: At the Roberta S. Matthews Center for Teaching and Learning we have hosted events and workshops during the past year that particularly engage with the complex roles of AI in the classroom. Of course, academic integrity and data privacy appear to be the biggest issues that we have explored, but several of our faculty (rightly) point out the environmental impact of big data associated with AI.

I do think, however, that discussions of AI in the classroom bring into starker relief topics that we should be discussing anyway, including the reasons why college classrooms have become more invaluable than ever鈥攖hat is, to engage in and strengthen students鈥� critical thinking skills鈥攖hese are invaluable in an increasingly automated and AI driven world.

The 32nd Annual Faculty and Staff Authors Reception, held in the Christoph M. Kimmich Reading Room, shone a spotlight on more than 30 individuals whose recent works鈥攊ncluding scholarly books, novels, monographs, poetry, and other creative artistic pieces鈥攐ffer fresh insight into our world and deepen our collective imagination.

The 32nd Annual Faculty and Staff Authors Reception shone a spotlight on scholarly books, novels, monographs, poetry, and other creative artistic pieces by faculty and staff.

The talent came from the schools of Visual, Media, and Performing Arts; Education; Humanities and Social Sciences; and Natural and Behavioral Sciences, the Department of Classics, as well as the Division of Institutional Advancement. The works ranged from CUNY Presidential Professor of Art Archie Rand鈥檚 artistic work in Popeye, Unchained and Archie Rand: Oz, to Associate Professor of Education Yoon-Joo Lee鈥檚 fascinating and personal book, Stories on Disability Through Our Voices: Born This Way.

President Michelle J. Anderson praised the honorees, acknowledging the dedication behind every publication鈥攖he late nights, countless revisions, and the unshakable passion for their craft鈥攁nd describing the event as a way for the college to say: We see your work, we value it, and we are incredibly proud.

Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs Bedford echoed that sentiment, expressing gratitude for the honorees鈥� scholarship and creativity. She reminded everyone of the privilege and responsibility of being part of a community of ideas鈥攁 place that champions lifelong learning and intellectual growth.

Lucas Rubin, the College鈥檚 Assistant Dean for 可乐视频 and director of the CUNY Latin/Greek Institute, had his book The Latin/Greek Institute at the City University of New York on display.

鈥淚 especially enjoyed seeing the depth and breadth of material, which spanned the scholarly to the creative, with works intended for audiences of all ages,鈥� Rubin said. 鈥淚 was particularly delighted to take part this year, as the first chapter of my book is a retrospective of 可乐视频鈥檚 Department of Classics, which has had a remarkable and storied history, especially in its outsized contributions to language pedagogy.鈥�

First held in 1993, the event was thoughtfully organized and hosted by Mary Mallery, chief librarian and director of Academic IT, with key support from Judith Wild, associate librarian for acquisitions, cataloging, serials, and interlibrary loans. Together, they welcomed the extended 可乐视频 family, including President Michelle J. Anderson, Provost April Bedford, Associate Dean for Faculty and Administration James T. Eaton, and many others.
