Reporting History: A Public Humanities Writing Workshop

Humanists possess a reservoir of scholarly abilities that prime them for contributing to debates well beyond the academy. For the past decade, Rachel Nolan has been putting these abilities to use in her award-winning reporting for magazines such as Harper’s, The New Yorker, The New York Times, London Review of Books, and the New York Review of Books. She has written on a range of topics across Latin America, including deportation, abortion, adoption, Maya interpreters, and the drug wars. In this writing workshop, professor Nolan will be talking about her writing and reporting process, what the relationship is between her scholarly and journalistic writing, and how scholars can put their abilities to journalistic use.
