Author and journalist Lauren Markham will be in conversation with Professor Becca Andrews about her work reporting on immigration for publications such as Harper's, The New York Times Magazine, The Guardian, The New York Review of Books, The New Republic, Mother Jones, and The Atlantic. Markham has reported from the border regions of Greece and Mexico and Thailand and Texas; from arctic Norway; from gang-controlled regions of El Salvador; from depopulating towns in rural Sardinia and rural Guatemala, too; from home school havens in southern California; from imperiled forests in Oregon and Washington; from the offices of overwhelmed immigration attorneys in L.A. and Tijuana; from the upscale haunts of women scammed on the Upper East Side. Markham’s first book, The Far Away Brothers: Two Young Migrants and the Making of an American Life (Crown, 2017) was the winner of the 2018 Ridenhour Book Prize, the Northern California Book Award, and a California Book Award Silver Prize. More recently, she published A Map of Future Ruins: On Borders and Belonging (Riverhead, 2024) which The New Yorker listed as one of “The Best Books We’ve Read in 2024 So Far.” For more information, contact Professor Becca Andrews at becca.andrews@wku.edu.
