Curated by André Bernard, former Vice President of the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation, In Conversation features great thinkers and influential voices whose contributions shape our culture today. Crossing the fields of politics, journalism, humanities, and the arts, these conversations will explore fresh perspectives that spark curiosity and ignite new ways of thinking about our most pressing challenges.
Jodi Kantor is a bestselling author and Pulitzer Prize–winning New York Times investigative reporter whose work reveals hidden truths about power, law, gender, technology, and culture. In 2017, she and journalist Megan Twohey broke the story of allegations against Harvey Weinstein, spurring the #MeToo global reckoning. She went on to coauthor the book She Said about the Weinstein investigation, which was adapted into a 2022 film. Recently, she has been working to illuminate the Supreme Court, including a behind-the-scenes story of how the justices overturned Roe v. Wade. In this live conversation, Kantor touches on her #MeToo and Supreme Court reporting and also delves into her new book, How to Start: Discovering Your Life’s Work, a letter to young people about navigating today’s uncertain job landscape, finding meaningful work, and becoming the authors of their own lives.
