The impact of the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the country have been widely discussed—but what about the impact on New York City, specifically? In their new anthology, New York After 9/11 (Fordham University Press, 2018), Susan Opotow and Zachary Baron Shemtob examine how life in New York City was drastically altered as examined from various perspectives such as psychology, public health, medicine, architecture, and others. For our interview, Susan Opotow and I discuss the long-term effect of 9/11 on New Yorkers’ lives—how their psyches, relationships, and day-to-day patterns of living were changed for good. We also take up how government entities responded to the tragedy and what can be learned from such responses for informing future disaster-readiness. This interview will be of interest not only for New Yorkers but for anyone interested in the impact of catastrophes on people and places.Susan Opotow, Ph.D. is a social psychologist and Professor at the City University of New York, where she is a core faculty member of sociology at John Jay College and of psychology at the Graduate Center.Eugenio Duarte, Ph.D. is a psychologist and psychoanalyst practicing in Miami.

This week’s guest is Professor Susan Opotow, a member of the faculty at both The Graduate Center and John Jay College of Criminal Justice. Opotow, along with several doctoral students and her co-editor Zachary Baron Shemtob, recently published New York After 9/11 (Fordham Press, 2018). The collection of essays and papers offers a detailed and interdisciplinary look at New York's ongoing recovery from the terrorist attacks. As we approach the 18th anniversary of the tragic event, Opotow shares what she and her collaborators learned about how 9/11 changed New York and New Yorkers.
