This 2025 anthology is filled with reflections on the bountiful contributions to the fields of Communication and Cultural Studies (among others) made by Larry Grossberg, the Morris Davis Distinguished Professor of Communication at the University of North Carolina. Upon Professor Grossberg’s retirement in 2022, legions of Larry’s former students and colleagues gathered to pay tribute to his immense influence on their lives individually, and more significantly, on the study of culture, power, and resistance as generated through 50+ years of researching and teaching.

 

This edited volume includes 52 different forum-style pieces, each paying unique and often personalized tribute to Professor Grossberg’s impact on Cultural Studies and knowledge creation.

 

In addition to the labor of collaboratively editing this collection, Dr. Davis also has a chapter in this book, “In Defense of Authority: Lawrence Grossberg and the Pedagogical Performance of Expertise.”

 

Published by Imbricate! Press, the book is also available via Open Access online.

 

Congratulations, Dr. Davis on your first publication while at UNTCOMM, and cheers to Larry Grossberg for his many decades of dedicated teaching and research around issues that are more relevant now than ever!
