As a part of our #LIND26 series "America First, America Alone? Global Politics in an Age of Uncertainty," we welcomed Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and author Carlos Lozada.
An opinion columnist for The New York Times, and author of The Washington Book: How to Read Politics and Politicians, Lozada gains nuanced insight into political leaders through what they reveal in their own writing. Campaign books, Supreme Court opinions, congressional reports and more, Lozada dissects the ideas shaping Washington as seen through the “fine print.” He is also the author of What Were We Thinking: A Brief Intellectual History of the Trump Era, for which his research included reading over 150 books about Trump.
This talk is moderated by Max Cameron, Professor at UBC’s School of Public Policy and Global Affairs and Political Science Department.
The Lind Initiative is presented by UBC’s School of Public Policy and Global Affairs, in partnership with the Chan Centre for the Performing Arts. Filmed by Collide Entertainment.
