George T. Hunter Lecture Series presents David Brooks Wednesday, November 04, 2009
Join the Benwood Foundation, the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, the Ochs Center for Metropolitan Studies, and CreateHere for a lecture by David Brooks, news analyst, commentator, and author.
Brooks is a clear-headed observer of the American way of life, and a keen analyst of political and foreign affairs. As a commentator, he has had an enormous influence through his writing, most notably as an op-ed columnist for the New York Times, where he started in 2003.
Brooks comes to Chattanooga on Tuesday, November 17, and will speak to the state of the nation at a 7 pm address, hosted at UTC’s Roland Hayes Concert Hall.
This is a prime opportunity for Chattanoogans: Brooks’ careful, astute observations have made him a player in the theater of world politics, and his visit brings the most pressing issues facing the nation to our own doorstep.
In addition to writing for The New York Times, Brooks has also contributed to The Weekly Standard, where he served as Senior Editor; the Atlantic Monthly; “The Newshour with Jim Lerer”; the “Diane Rehm Show”; The New Yorker; Forbes; The Washington Post; Commentary; The Public Interest; and NPR’s “All Things Considered.” He is also the author of Bobos in Paradise: The New Upper Class and How They Got There, and On Paradise Drive: How We Live Now (And Always Have).
All lectures in George T. Hunter Lecture Series are free and open to the public. Seating is limited and is on a first-come first-serve basis.
