Please join us for the latest UConn History Department Foreign Policy Seminar. Our next meeting will be tonight (10/16). The speaker this 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 is entitled, "Who was Smedley Butler?"
Katz's talk will start at 5 PM EST. A Q&A will immediately follow. All are welcome.
It will be held on Zoom and here is the registration link:
