Sunny Stalter-Pace is an Assistant Professor in the department of English. Her book "Underground Movements: Modern Culture on the New York City Subway" explores the many meanings of the subway by looking back at the era when it first ascended to cultural prominence, from its opening in 1904 through the mid-1960s. By analyzing a broad range of texts written during this period, Sunny illustrates the subway's central importance as a site of abstract connection, both between different parts of the city and between city dwellers who ride the train together.
