We were excited to welcome Dr. Al Martin to Professor Ethan Tussey's Audience and Fan Studies graduate seminar last week to discuss his new book, Fandom, For Us By Us (NYU Press, 2026).

Dr. Martin joined our students for a conversation.

After the seminar, the discussion continued with a conversation about the film Sinners, with Dr. Martin serving as our special guest respondent.

Thank you to Dr. Martin for sharing his work and insights with our students!
