Aspen Leadership Series: Nicholas Kristof
*This event is by invitation only.
The series “Conversations with Great Leaders in Memory of Preston Robert Tisch” — underwritten by the children of the late Bob Tisch, a businessman and philanthropist — highlights great leadership in action through interviews with key leaders from all sectors of civic life.
The program will feature a conversation between Nicholas Kristof, journalist and author, and a moderator.
Nicholas Kristof, a columnist for The New York Times since November 2001, is a two-time Pulitzer Prize winner who writes op-ed columns that appear twice a week. In 1990, Kristof and his wife, Sheryl WuDunn, previously a New York Times journalist, won a Pulitzer Prize for their coverage of China’s Tiananmen Square movement. Kristof won a second Pulitzer in 2006 for what the judges called “his graphic, deeply reported columns that, at personal risk, focused attention on genocide in Darfur.” In addition to the recent best-selling “A Path Appears: Transforming Lives, Creating Opportunity,” Kristof and WuDunn are authors of “Half the Sky: Turning Oppression Into Opportunity for Women Worldwide,” “Thunder from the East: Portrait of a Rising Asia;” and “China Wakes: The Struggle for the Soul of a Rising Power.”
