The Clive Davis Institute is proud to announce that CDI Professor Dr. Matthew Morrison, PhD has been promoted to Associate Professor with tenure by NYU Provost Georgina Dopico. The process of becoming a tenured professor at an institution like NYU is long and difficult. Matthew’s work as an educator, writer, researcher, lecturer, musician, and mentor has been rightly recognized for its excellence and impact. Congratulations Matthew, we are very fortunate to have you at CDI. As my grandfather would say, “he really classes up the joint.”
While I have you, we also congratulate Matthew on his forthcoming book: Blacksound: Making Race and Popular Music in the United States [University of California Press]
-Nick Sansano, Chair
