This program will be held virtually via ZOOM.
Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalist Lynsey Addario will discuss what life was like for women during the Taliban’s rule, how life changed for women in the 20 years she’s been covering the country, and how Afghans are reacting now. She will also share powerful images that she captured. Award-winning interviewer Steve Edwards, formerly of WBEZ and the University of Chicago’s Institute of Politics, will moderate the conversation.
Ms. Addario covers major conflict zones across the globe and is a regular contributor to National Geographic, The New York Times, and Time magazine. Addario was the recipient of a MacArthur Foundation “Genius Grant” and in 2015 was named one of five most influential photographers of the past 25 years for changing the way we see world conflict by American Photo Magazine. She is the bestselling author of the memoir It’s What I Do.
