Margot Adler, a National Public Radio correspondent based in New York, will give a public talk at the University of Colorado at Boulder on Tuesday, Nov. 27.
Adler, who will be on campus as a guest of the World Affairs Athenaeum, will speak at 1:30 p.m. in the Old Main Chapel. The event is free and open to the public.
She will speak about "Life, Politics and Spirit after Sept. 11: Musings of a New York Journalist."
Adler can be heard regularly on the NPR programs "All Things Considered," "Morning Edition" and "Weekend Edition," and is the host of "Justice Talking," a new debate show that focuses on the U.S. Constitution. She is best known for in-depth stories on a wide range of topics, including the death penalty, affirmative action, the debate over family values and many others.
Adler also is the author of "Drawing Down the Moon," a study of paganism and Wicca, and "Heretic's Heart," a 1960s memoir.
"Ms. Adler will bring a unique perspective on the transformation of the American social and political landscape post-Sept. 11, a dialogue that is much needed at this time," said Priya Kumar, one of the student fellows responsible for pulling together Athenaeum events.
The Athenaeum, a program in which students meet with world-renowned guests and discuss world affairs, is an offshoot of the CU-Boulder Conference on World Affairs, according to fellow Elizabeth Mauldin.
Past Athenaeum visitors to CU-Boulder include Dr. Patch Adams, Werner Herzog, Susan Faludi and Judith Kipper.
