SUMMARY:Great Expectations: A Novel
DESCRIPTION:Vinson Cunningham in Conversation with A.M. Homes \nA historic presidential campaign changes the trajectory of a young Black man’s life in this “coming of age story that captures the soul of America” (The Washington Post)\, the debut novel from The New Yorker staff writer and Pulitzer Prize finalist Vinson Cunningham. \nA BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: The New York Times Book Review\, The Washington Post\, NPR\, Los Angeles Times\, The Boston Globe\, Town & Country\, Publishers Weekly\, Kirkus Reviews\, Electric Lit\, Current\, WBEZ \nWhen David first hears the Senator from Illinois speak\, he feels deep ambivalence. Intrigued by the Senator’s idealistic rhetoric\, David also wonders how he’ll balance the fervent belief and inevitable compromises it will take to become the United States’ first Black president. \nGreat Expectations is about David’s eighteen months working for the Senator’s presidential campaign. Along the way David meets a myriad of people who raise a set of questions—questions of history\, art\, race\, religion\, and fatherhood—that force David to look at his own life anew and come to terms with his identity as a young Black man and father in America. \nMeditating on politics and politicians\, religion and preachers\, fathers and family\, Great Expectations is both an emotionally resonant coming-of-age story and a rich novel of ideas\, marking the arrival of a major new writer. \nVinson Cunningham is a staff writer and critic at The New Yorker and a Pulitzer Prize Finalist. He co-hosts the podcast “Critics at Large” and his writing has appeared in The New York Times Magazine\, The New York Times Book Review\, The Fader\, Vulture\, The Awl\, and McSweeney’s. A former staffer on Barack Obama’s first presidential campaign and in his White House\, Cunningham has taught at Sarah Lawrence College\, the Yale School of Art\, and Columbia University’s School of the Arts.  A.M. Homes’ most recent book is The Unfolding. Her many previous works include This Book Will Save Your Life\, winner of the 2013 Orange/Women’s Prize for Fiction\, the short-story collection Days of Awe\, and the bestselling memoir\, The Mistress’s Daughter.  She is a Professor in the Lewis Center for the Arts’ Program in Creative Writing. \nThis event is cosponsored by the Program in Journalism\, the Humanities Council\, and Labyrinth Books.

SUMMARY:Lunch Talk: Uncovering corruption in the 2020s
DESCRIPTION:Investigative reporting has always been linked to the belief that shining sunlight on wrongdoing will lead to positive change. But in an increasingly relativist culture where shame is in short supply\, how do we practice journalism that undergirds\, rather than undermines the truth? Andrea Bernstein (Journalism) will be in conversation with Razia Iqbal (SPIA). They will also discuss the January 6 pardons\, and the journalistic and legal work done to report on the truth\, and where journalists go from here. \nLunch talks are open to University faculty\, students\, and staff. Space is limited. RSVP required here. \n\nThe Humanities Council’s Program in Journalism invites faculty\, graduate students and staff to participate in its spring lunchtime talk series\, where distinguished visiting journalists and writers discuss their work and pressing issues of the day with University faculty from a variety of disciplines. \nThese events—typically informal discussions of recent writing —offer intimate looks inside the work of colleagues and an opportunity for dialog across disciplines. Lunch will be provided. \n

SUMMARY:Lunch Talk: Writing from the Podium
DESCRIPTION:So much of the writing we hold in high esteem\, especially in the Anglophone world\, is more or less directly descended from public speech—developed out loud and for the purpose of persuading (and\, just as importantly\, entertaining) an audience. From the essay to the pamphlet\, the op-ed to the “feature” and the critical review\, our nonfiction tradition has drawn from the techniques and attitudes of oratory\, tending to be coaxing and argumentative\, urgent and (often irritatingly) insistent. The implications of this heritage can be found in the sentences\, styles\, and voices of writers and journalists such as Ralph Waldo Emerson\, James Baldwin\, Joan Didion\, Toni Morrison\, and Zadie Smith. Vinson Cunningham (Journalism) will be in conversation with Professor Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor (African American Studies)\, to discuss the relationship between oratory and nonfiction prose\, and to share some techniques for making this correspondence pay dividends on the page. \nLunch talks are open to University faculty\, students\, and staff. Space is limited. RSVP required here. \n\nThe Humanities Council’s Program in Journalism invites faculty\, graduate students and staff to participate in its spring lunchtime talk series\, where distinguished visiting journalists and writers discuss their work and pressing issues of the day with University faculty from a variety of disciplines. \nThese events—typically informal discussions of recent writing —offer intimate looks inside the work of colleagues and an opportunity for dialog across disciplines.

SUMMARY:Novel Ecologies: Nature Remade and the Illusions of Tech
DESCRIPTION:Tracing the convergence of ecology and engineering over the last three decades\, this book pinpoints a new environmental paradigm that the author calls Nature Remade. \nAllison Carruth’s Novel Ecologies shows how the tech industry has taken up the wilderness mythologies that shaped one strain of American environmentalism over the last century. Calling this twenty-first-century environmental imagination Nature Remade\, Carruth describes a distinctly West Coast framework that is at once nostalgic and futuristic. Through three case studies (synthetic wildlife\, the digital cloud\, and space colonization)\, the book shows Nature Remade to be a quasi-religious belief in venture capitalism and big tech. This paradigm thus imagines a future in which species\, ecosystems\, and entire planets are re-generated and re-created through engineering. \nNovel Ecologies challenges the conviction that climate change and other environmental crises must be met with ever larger-scale forms of technological intervention. Against the new worlds conjured by Google\, Meta\, Open AI\, Amazon\, SpaceX\, and a host of lesser-known start-ups\, Carruth marshals writers and artists who imagine provisionally hopeful environmental futures while refusing to forget the histories that have made the world what it is. On this track of the book\, Carruth discusses the works of Octavia Butler\, Jennifer Egan\, Ruth Ozeki\, Tracy K. Smith\, Jeff VanderMeer\, and and many more. Their novels\, poems\, installation artworks\, and expressive media offer a speculative world built on livable communities rather than engineered lifeforms. \nAllison Carruth is professor in the Effron Center for the Study of America and High Meadows Environmental Institute at Princeton University. She is the cofounder and faculty director of Blue Lab\, an environmental media\, art\, and research group at Princeton. Since 2017\, she has produced original environmental documentaries and multimedia story series in collaboration with filmmakers\, journalists\, artists and others. She is the author of Global Appetites: American Power and the Literature of Food and coauthor with Amy L. Tigner of Literature and Food Studies. Eliza Griswold is the author of six books of poetry and nonfiction\, most recently Circle of Hope: A Reckoning with Love\, Power\, and Justice in an American Church.  Her book Amity and Prosperity: One Family and the Fracturing of America was awarded the 2019 Pulitzer Prize in General Nonfiction. She writes for The New Yorker\, and is the Ferris Professor and Director of the Program in Journalism at Princeton University.

SUMMARY:Lunch Talk: Reporting on Earth's Deadline
DESCRIPTION:Basic climate science has been well understood for nearly forty years. Journalists have been steadily reporting on it for more than twenty. And yet\, fossil fuels remain dominant\, global greenhouse-gas emissions continue to rise\, and Earth is hotter now than at any other point in human history. The climate emergency has already impacted millions of people\, and the remaining years of this decade are crucial for preventing the most cataclysmic scenarios. How can journalists rise to the challenge? \nJoin Carolyn Kormann (Journalism) in conversation with Eliza Griswold (Journalism) on the role that climate change now plays in almost every issue and story of our time. Kormann\, a leading chronicler of the pervasive challenges of the Anthropocene for the New Yorker\, will talk about her work\, her forthcoming book\, and how she personally fights climate despair after nearly two decades of reporting on this crisis. \nLunch talks are open to University faculty\, students\, and staff. Space is limited. RSVP required here. \n*Please note\, RSVP form requires University log-in credentials

SUMMARY:Lunch Talk: Reporting and Writing on Mental Illness
DESCRIPTION:In the name of speaking truth to power\, journalists have long contributed to harmful narratives about mental health conditions and the people who seek and provide care for them. But times have changed\, and in recent years there has been a general shift in mental health journalism\, fueled by the arrival of a new generation of reporters who are much more comfortable with the realities of mental illness. \nEven with more and better coverage\, some thorny questions remain: How do you report and write on mental illness with care and compassion while also maintaining personal boundaries and professional distance? And where is the line between solutions journalism and advocacy? \nJoin Judith Warner (Journalism) in conversation with Erik Nook (Psychology) for this interdisciplinary lunch talk\, presented by the Humanities Council’s Program in Journalism. These talks offer insight into the work of our distinguished visiting journalists\, as they discuss their work and pressing issues of the day with University faculty from across disciplines. \n\n\nLunch talks are open to University faculty\, students\, and staff. Space is limited. RSVP required here.  \n*Please note\, RSVP form requires University log-in credentials

SUMMARY:Lunch Talk: The Detainees of Crystal City
DESCRIPTION:This year\, President Trump invoked The Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to justify mass deportations. The last time the US used this wartime law was after entering World War II. While people are familiar with Japanese American internment—most don’t know the US also rounded up Germans\, Japanese\, and Italians living in Latin America. The Roosevelt Administration confiscated their passports\, illegally brought them to the US\, and interned them in the same camps using the Alien Enemies Act. The goal? To exchange them for US prisoners of war. The biggest and the last camp to close was in Crystal City\, Texas. \nJoin JoAnn DeLuna (Journalism) in conversation with Christina Lee (Spanish and Portuguese; Humanities Council) for this interdisciplinary lunch talk\, presented by the Humanities Council’s Program in Journalism. The pair will discuss DeLuna’s recent Radio Diaries story\, where she interviewed some of the last surviving internees from Latin America about their astonishing journeys. \nLunch talks are open to University faculty\, students\, and staff. Space is limited. RSVP required here. \n*Please note\, RSVP form requires University log-in credentials

SUMMARY:MY AI MOM: Artificial intelligence may not replace my job. But could it replace my mother?
DESCRIPTION:After his mother spent months recording stories and memories with an AI startup\, award-winning journalist and author David Kushner (Journalism) confronted an unsettling question: could technology replicate the woman who brought him into the world? The result—an AI “digital twin” that spoke in her voice\, shared her wisdom\, and made him cry—illuminated both the promise and peril of giving ourselves artificial immortality. A deeply personal exploration of grief\, memory\, and what we risk when we let machines stand in for the people we love.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ \nIn this interdisciplinary lunch talk\, Kushner will discuss his recent story on AI “griefbots” with Arvind Narayanan (Computer Science)\, director of the Center for Information Technology Policy. \nPresented by the Humanities Council’s Program in Journalism. Lunch talks are open to University faculty\, students\, and staff. Space is limited. RSVP required here. \n*Please note\, RSVP form requires University log-in credentials \nRelated reading: \nDavid Kushner\, Business Insider\, “I created an AI version of my mom.

SUMMARY:Book Talk: “When All the Men Wore Hats: Susan Cheever on the Stories of John Cheever”
DESCRIPTION:When All the Men Wore Hats is a sympathetic and illuminating account of the stories of John Cheever\, and the intersecting life and work of the legendary writer John Cheever\, as told by his eldest daughter.\n\nThe Stories of John Cheever\, published in 1978\, brought together some of the finest short fiction ever written. The collection was honored with the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award\, and it would go on to sell millions of copies and to define the American short story and shape generations of writers. Cheever’s chronicles of modern life both emerged from a distinctly American culture and also created it—inspiring everything from Mad Men to a Raymond Carver story\, from rock songs to a Seinfeld episode. \nGrowing up\, Susan Cheever\, John Cheever’s eldest child and only daughter\, read what he read\, heard what he heard\, bantered and gossiped with him and her brothers and mother at the dinner table\, and later watched her father type on the cheap yellow paper he favored. A daughter much like Susan appears in many of Cheever’s stories and a family much like theirs is at the center of his writing. \nIn When All the Men Wore Hats\, Susan Cheever looks back on her father’s work and seeks to understand the connections between art and life. How did a bit of local gossip\, a slice of Greek myth\, and a new translation of Madame Bovary somehow become a brilliant gem like “The Country Husband” or “The Swimmer”? In her 1984 book Home Before Dark\, published two years after her father’s death\, Cheever wrote movingly about her father and the secrets he kept\, but here\, years later\, she tells the story of the remarkable stories themselves\, six of which appear in full in the book’s appendix. \nSusan Cheever is the author of many books on American history\, the most recent of which is Drinking in America: Our Secret History\, published in 2015. She is also the author of numerous novels; My Name Is Bill: Bill Wilson—His Life and the Creation of Alcoholics Anonymous\, a biography of the Alcoholics Anonymous cofounder Bill Wilson; and Home Before Dark\, a memoir about her father\, John Cheever. She has taught at Bennington College and currently teaches at the New School in the MFA program. \nEliza Griswold\, a poet\, a translator\, and a contributing writer covering religion\, politics\, and the environment\, has been writing for The New Yorker since 2003. Her books include Circle of Hope: A Reckoning with Love\, Power\, and Justice in an American Church and Amity and Prosperity: One Family and the Fracturing of America\, which won the 2019 Pulitzer Prize in general nonfiction. She is a Ferris Professor at Princeton University\, where she directs the Program in Journalism. \nThis event is co-sponsored by Princeton University’s Program in Journalism and Labyrinth Books.

SUMMARY:Freedom of the press? Journalism in the 'fake news' era
DESCRIPTION:National security reporters in Washington are being threatened by the federal government for doing their jobs in ways that are reminiscent of some of the world’s most notorious authoritarian regimes. Journalists are often called “hacks” or liars” – sometimes in the middle of the White House press room. Their personal safety is increasingly at risk. With the recent arrest of Don Lemon and the FBI raid of Washington Post journalist Hannah Natanson’s home\, it’s clear that we are all bearing witness to an extraordinary moment in history. The first amendment is under attack. \nIn this talk\, veteran national security correspondent Erin Banco (Journalism) and Fara Dabhoiwala (History)\, author of “What Is Free Speech? The History of a Dangerous Idea\,” will discuss how we got here and the potential consequences we could face as a society as a result of the further restriction of the freedom of the press. \nPresented by the Humanities Council’s Program in Journalism. Lunch talks are open to University faculty\, students\, and staff. Space is limited. RSVP required here. \n*Please note\, RSVP form requires University log-in credentials

SUMMARY:Secret Stories of Migration: Cars\, Coffins\, Cash\, and Other Encomiendas
DESCRIPTION:A daughter reunites\, after 20 years\, with a father she never knew. A son builds his parents a mansion he will never visit. A mother waits by the side of the road for the coffin returning her son to his childhood home. These stories of migration unfold over decades and across generations\, reaching far beyond today’s headlines. \nAcademy-award winning filmmaker Purcell Carson (Journalism) has spent the past 10 years listening to Guatemalan migrants in Trenton\, New Jersey—mothers and fathers\, entrepreneurs and mourners\, lovers\, hucksters\, and dreamers. Using observational cinema\, oral history\, material culture\, social media\, and personal archives\, she documents the lived realities of migration and reverse migration in the Americas. \nIn this interdisciplinary lunch talk\, Carson will give examples from a work-in-progress\, and discuss the porous borders between journalism\, history\, and cinema with U.S. historian Rosina Lozano (History). \nPresented by the Humanities Council’s Program in Journalism. Lunch talks are open to University faculty\, students\, and staff. Space is limited. RSVP required here. \n*Please note\, RSVP form requires University log-in credentials
