Please join us for the latest UConn History Department Foreign Policy Seminar. Our next meeting will be Friday, October 16. The speaker that evening will be Jonathan Myerson Katz. He is a journalist and the author of The Big Truck That Went By: How the World Came to Save Haiti and Left Behind a Disaster (Macmillan, 2013), which was a PEN Literary Award finalist and won the Overseas Press Club of America's Cornelius Ryan Award for the year's best book on international affairs.
A regular contributor to The New York Times and other publications, he was a 2019 fellow at New America and formerly directed the Media & Journalism Institute at Duke University's John Hope Franklin Institute. He is currently writing a book, Gangsters of Empire, about General Smedley Butler and the legacy of U.S. Empire. Appropriately enough, his talk this evening is entitled, "Who was Smedley Butler?"
Katz's talk will start at 5 PM EST. A Q&A will immediately follow. All are welcome.
