Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and author Jake Halpern will join the CMENAS Colloquium Series on November 18, 2024, to share insights on storytelling across words, pictures, and sound. A master of immersive journalism, Halpern’s work has appeared in The New Yorker, The New York Times Magazine, and NPR’s This American Life.
