Join the Department of Society, Culture, Crime, and Justice Studies (SCCJS) for their monthly Brown Bag Lecture Series! This event is free and open to all.

Join us for the second event of this year’s PCAL Cultural Enhancement Series on Thursday, February 13^th, at 7 PM in the DSU Auditorium as we host columnist, New York Times bestselling author, and MSNBC analyst, Charles Blow!

Blow fearlessly tackles today’s most pressing issues with depth, nuance, and tremendous insight. Now an Op-Ed columnist at The New York Times, Blow previously served as the paper’s Graphics Director, leading the publication to significant awards. He has also worked as the Art Director of National Geographic Magazine and for The Detroit News.

Additionally, Blow is the New York Times bestselling author of Fire Shut Up in My Bones, which won a Lambda Literary Award, the Sperber Prize, and appeared on numerous “best of” lists. A memoir, the book was called “searing and unforgettable” by People Magazine and was adapted into a critically-acclaimed opera with a groundbreaking run at The Metropolitan Opera – the first performance of an opera there by a Black composer. His second book, The Devil You Know: A Black Power Manifesto, draws on both his personal experience and observations of society to call for an end to systemic racism.

Heralded for his forward-thinking coverage of American politics and society, as well as his skill in graphic design to create powerful narratives with compelling visuals, Blow is also an in-demand speaker and gifted moderator. He has appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, SalonTV, CBS News and has been featured in The Washington Post, The Ringer, Oprah Daily, and more about his highly acclaimed work.

Admission is free, no tickets are necessary, and seating is on a first-come, first-served basis. Following his talk, a book signing will be offered. A QR attendance code will also be available for students.
