Connie Chung: Wednesday, September 25th, at the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall
Iconic trailblazer and legendary journalist Connie Chung will be in conversation about her new memoir, Connie, at the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall. This sharp, witty, and definitive memoir like no other delves into her storied career as the first Asian woman to break into an overwhelmingly white, male-dominated television news industry. Select ticket levels include a copy of the book.
Malcolm Gladwell: Tuesday, October 15th, at the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall
New York Times bestselling author, Pushkin Industries co-founder, and Revisionist History podcast host, Malcolm Gladwell, will be in conversation about his new book, Revenge of the Tipping Point, at the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall. Gladwell examines with new eyes the phenomenon of social epidemics in light of the events and lessons of the last 25 years. Select ticket levels include a copy of the book.
Ta-Nehisi Coates: Tuesday, October 22nd, at the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall
Award-winning author and journalist Ta-Nehisi Coates will discuss his first nonfiction book in nearly a decade, The Message, at the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall. The book’s three intertwining essays recount Coates’ journey to three resonant sites of conflict to explore how the stories we tell—and don’t—shape our realities. Select ticket levels include a copy of the book.
