Nicholas KristofA Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times columnist, Nicholas Kristof has been christened the “reporter’s reporter” by other reporters. Kristof began backpacking in Africa and Asia, writing articles to cover his expenses. He’s lived on four continents, reported on six and traveled to more than 150 countries. During his travels, he has caught malaria, experienced wars, confronted warlords and survived an African airplane crash. Kristof not only managed to survive and press on, he’s also won two Pulitzers in the process—advocating human rights and giving a voice to the voiceless. In 1990, Kristof and his wife, Sheryl WuDunn, then also a New York Times journalist, became the first husband- wife team to win a Pulitzer Prize for Journalism for their coverage of China’s Tiananmen Square democracy movement. Kristof won his second Pulitzer in 2006 for what the judges called “his graphic, deeply reported columns that, at personal risk, focused attention on genocide in Darfur.” Kristof joined The New York Times in 1984 as a correspondent and has been an op-ed columnist since 2001. He is a master storyteller with an unmatched reputation and peerless perspective on the events that shape our world.

There will be a book signing immediately following the lecture from 8:30–9:15 p.m. His books “Half the Sky” and “A Path Appears” will be available for purchase.
