Edward Albee Playwright Edward Albee has defined modern American theatre with four decades of provocative, controversial and brilliant plays. A three-time Pulitzer Prize winner, The New Yorker has called him “the greatest living playwright.”

Suggested Topics: An Evening with Edward Albee

Readings by Edward Albee

Albee is perhaps best known for his 1962 drama, Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? It won both the Tony and New York Drama Critics Circle Awards and is widely considered a classic of American contemporary theatre.

His first play, The Zoo Story, opened in 1959 and tells the story of a drifter who acts out his own murder with the unwitting aid of an upper-middle-class editor. The play effectively gave birth to American absurdist drama, and Albee was immediately hailed as the leader of a new theatrical movement.

Special Program:Available for residencies

The State of Theater and the Arts in America

Albee’s groundbreaking plays explore the most intimate aspects of our society. A Delicate Balance, Seascape, The Death of Bessie Smith, and Three Tall Women are just a few titles that illustrate Albee's passion for examining features of our lives we might not always recognize. In his lectures Albee describes the power of the arts as a catalyst for change. He believes that art should be dangerous, that it should reveal all our shortcomings and complacency -- hopefully inspiring us to live more fully. "The job of the arts, " says Albee, "is to hold a mirror up to us and say: "Look, this is how you really are. If you don't like it, change."

His play The Goat or Who is Sylvia won 2002 Tony Award for best play. He is also a Kennedy Center Honoree, was awarded the national medal of Arts, and received a special Tony Award for Lifetime Achievement in Theater in 2005.

Albee had three plays produced in New York during the 2007-2008 season: Peter and Jerry with Bill Pullman; a revival of his one-act plays, The American Dream and The Sandbox; and Occupant about Louise Nevelson. His most recent play, Me, Myself and I, opened at the McCarter Theater in January 2008, and had its off-Broadway debut in the fall of 2010. It garnered as much controversy as it did admiration among theater critics and audiences.

"Witty and intelligent...his passionate defense of the arts spurred a standing ovation."

- University of Missouri Columbia

This spring, the Arena Stage Festival at The Mead Center for American Theater honored Albee with 26 staged readings of every play he has produced since the late 1950s, as well as their 2011 American Artist Award. Albee is the 2011

recipient of the prestigious Edward MacDowell Medal for Lifetime Achievement.

Elizabeth Alexander Poet and Yale professor Elizabeth Alexander made history as the fourth poet to compose and deliver a poem at a presidential inauguration. The daughter of a civil rights advisor to President Johnson, she came full-circle reciting her poem “Praise Song for the Day” on the same Mall where she, as a child, witnessed Martin Luther King Jr. deliver his iconic “I Have a Dream” speech.

In 2009, Alexander became chair of Yale University’s Department of African American Studies where she also serves as the Thomas E. Donnelley Professor of African American Studies. She will explore “African American Arts Today” during the Spring 2012 DeVane Lecture series at Yale, a featured course open to both students and the general public.

Alexander’s collections of poetry and essays, which explore issues of race, gender and politics include American Sublime, a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. Her most recent book, Crave Radiance: New and Selected Poems (October 2010), is her first retrospective volume.

Her work was selected and published in Caroline Kennedy’s poetry collection, She Walks in Beauty: A Woman’s Journey Through Poems (April 2011).

A graduate of Yale and Boston University, she holds a Ph.D. in English from the University of Pennsylvania.

Alexander was the very first recipient of the Alphonse Fletcher Sr. Fellowship for work that "contributes to improving race relations in American society and furthers the broad social goals of the U.S. Supreme Court's Brown v. Board of Education decision of 1954." Her other awards include a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship, two Pushcart Prizes, and a Guggenheim Fellowship.

She was featured on the PBS 4-part series, Faces of America, tracing her family lineage back some 37 generations all the way to Charlemagne, first emperor of the Holy Roman Empire. Alexander has also appeared on CBS Sunday Morning, PBS NewsHour, and The Colbert Report.

A long-time advocate of the arts as a critical element of civic dialogue, Alexander once remarked, “Poetry is not meant to cheer; rather, poetry challenges, and moves us towards transformation.” She recently chaired the National Book Awards for poetry. Her upcoming projects include delivering the Toni Morrison Lectures at Princeton University in 2013 and a Library of America anthology covering 300 years of African American poetry.

Ken Auletta Author and media columnist for The New Yorker Ken Auletta is “the James Bond of the media world,” wrote BusinessWeek, “a man who combines the probing mind and easy charm of a top intelligence agent with the glamour that benefits the holder of a high-profile job.” In ranking him as America’s premier media commentator, the Columbia Journalism Review concluded, “No other reporter has covered the news communication business as thoroughly.”

In his award-winning “Annals of Communications" for The New Yorker, Auletta chronicles major events and explores the powerful people shaping the cable, television, Hollywood studio, newspaper, publishing and technology industries.

Maziar Bahari Iranian-Canadian journalist and documentary filmmaker Maziar Bahari was arrested in Tehran while reporting on the 2009 presidential election protests and held in solitary confinement for most of his 118 days in captivity. He was accused of “masterminding the coverage of the Iranian election by the Western media” and being a spy for the Mossad, the MI6, and the CIA. Bahari has been a correspondent for Newsweek for over 10 years, covering Iranian economic, political and cultural life. Soon after protests erupted over charges that President Ahmadinejad had stolen the vote, he was picked up by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard and sent to Evin Prison, which is notorious for torturing political prisoners.

He was repeatedly beaten and forced to give a false televised confession. After international pressure mounted and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton expressed interest in his case, he was released on $300,000 bail. Bahari's riveting memoir, Then They Came for Me: A Family's Story of Love, Captivity, and Survival, was published by Random House in June 2011.

The Daily Show’s Jon Stewart has optioned it for a feature film.

"What happened to me,” says Bahari, “really symbolizes something bigger than me – the shift from a clerical state to what is increasingly a military dictatorship. I was maybe unlucky to be able to explore some of the darkest sides of the Iranian government, the revolutionary zeal, and the corruption. But I was lucky to be able to come out and talk about it." An Iranian court sentenced Bahari in absentia to an extended flogging and more than 13 years in prison on various charges, including conspiring against national security and insulting the supreme religious leader.

His documentaries have covered a variety of subjects: Jewish refugees from Nazi Germany (The Voyage of The Saint Louis), an Iranian serial killer (And Along Came A Spider), AIDS in South Africa (Of Shames and Coffins), and Iraqi children detained in military prisons ( Children of Abu Ghraib). A retrospective of his work was organized by the International Documentary Film Festival, and The ILEX Foundation honored him with the Award for Excellence in Iranian Cinema. His latest film is Iranian Odyssey.

Bahari's story of resilience in the face of repression were the subject of a 60 Minutes segment and a Newsweek cover story. He has appeared on Fareed Zakaria GPS, The Daily Show, and Charlie Rose.

"The event with Maziar went wonderfully. We were more than pleased with his lecture and with his generosity in interacting with our students, faculty, and community members."

Avraham Burg Political leader, author and activist Avraham Burg has been a prominent figure in politics for nearly 30 years.

The youngest speaker in the history of the Israeli Knesset (1999-2003) and a strong advocate for peace in the Middle East, Burg was the first speaker to invite his Palestinian counterpart to address the Israeli Knesset as well as the Dalai Lama.

Burg’s career in public service began as a Peace Now activist during the 1982 protest movement against war in Lebanon. Burg then served as an advisor to Prime Minister Shimon Peres on Diaspora before becoming a senior member of the Israeli Labor Party.

First elected to the Knesset in 1988, Burg built an impressive legislative record before resigning in 1995 to serve as the Chairman of the Jewish Agency for Israel.

As Chairman, he oversaw the immigration of nearly half-a-million Jews into the country and helped recover Jewish property taken during the Holocaust.

Despite having grown up in the religious Zionist movement, Burg advocates a progressive approach to the Middle East conflict that begins with reconciling the past to make the future more promising: “All of my life I’ve been an activist of the peace camp…I’m ready to go a very long way to bring people together from dialogue to acceptance and than compromise.”

Suggested Topics: The Middle East and the Politics of God

What Makes a Jew - Birthright or Values?

Burg’s worldwide bestseller, The Holocaust is Over; We Must Rise from Its Ashes, (2008, English) argued that the Jewish nation has lost the ability to trust itself, its neighbors and the world because of the Holocaust. Burg uses his own family history – his father was a Holocaust survivor – to inform his innovative views on what the Jewish people need to do to move on to live in peace with their Arab neighbors and feel more a part of the world at large.

Burg’s newest book, Very Near to You: Human Readings of the Torah, is slated for publication in 2012.

Recently, he launched an online community in support of Very Near to You that encourages people to debate and discuss the role of the Bible in the modern world.

Burg is the Chairman of Mifalot, the largest sport for development and peace social project in the Middle East.

Burg’s articles have appeared in The Guardian, the International Herald Tribune, he also blogs regularly for The Huffington Post.

"Avrum Burg was a compelling, engaging speaker who provided though-provoking perceptions about the current position of Israel in the world. I recommend him without reservation."

John F. Burns London Bureau Chief and former Baghdad Bureau Chief for The New York Times John F. Burns is the longest-serving foreign correspondent in the Times’ history and a two-time winner of the Pulitzer Prize. For more than 30 years he has been a fearless representative in embattled regions — from South Africa during apartheid to the siege of Sarajevo and then to Iraq before and after the war.

His work has taken him to China, India, and the Soviet Union during perilous periods. After 9/11, he directed the paper's coverage of the Afghanistan war, first from a base in Islamabad, and later from the Afghan capital. He covered the last six months of Saddam Hussein's regime and, when American troops captured Baghdad, he served as bureau chief for the paper in Baghdad—often under hazardous circumstances — until August 2007.

He has made countless appearances during these conflicts, appearing on news shows such as The Newshour with Jim Lehrer, the CBS Evening News, and The Charlie Rose Show.

In addition to his two Pulitzers, Burns is also a dual winner of the George Polk Award for foreign reporting in Africa and Afghanistan. He contributed the chapter on Julian Assange in The New York Times' new E-book, Open Secrets: Wikileaks, War and American Diplomacy.

His musings on the 2011 London riots and News Of The World hacking scandal provided not only as a clarification of British politics, but as an insight into underlying issues of modern society. He is working on a book about his time spent in some of the world's nastiest places, and the many good things he found there.

"John Burns gave a packed hall a professional's up-close look at unfolding events in crisis spots around the world. He brought perspective, humanity and a strong 'everyman's' sense of history."

The film will examine the transformational impact of the Civil War’s staggering death toll and the enduring legacy of that trauma on the nation, the government, and the psyche of the American people.

Burns began his career working alongside his brother Ken, as co-producer and co-writer of the landmark PBS series, The Civil War. He went on to form his own company, Steeplechase Films, in 1989 to produce his work for public television.

His documentary films We Shall Remain: Tecumseh's Vision and Into the Deep: America, Whaling & The World, an exploration of one of America’s first global industries, aired on PBS in 2009 and 2010. His most recent film, Nantucket, showcases the region's natural beauty and significant role in global history.

Amy Dickinson Columnist Amy Dickinson's “Ask Amy” appears in over 200 newspapers including the Los Angeles Times, the Chicago Tribune, Newsday and The Washington Post.

In 2003 Dickinson was chosen to step into the void created by the death of legendary advice columnist Ann Landers. Under her stewardship, the column has come of age, tackling issues from online gambling and porn addictions to custody disputes over the family pet. A profile of Dickinson published in The Atlantic Monthly suggested that if Jesus wore a t-shirt, it would say, “What Would Amy Do?” Growing up in the small upstate town of Freeville, New York, Dickinson was heavily influenced by the stories and life-lessons passed down by her large extended family. Always interested in people and their stories, Dickinson feels that “one of the pleasures of being an advice columnist is that I'm granted little glimpses into the human condition.”

Thomas L. Friedman Foreign Affairs columnist for The New York Times, Tom Friedman is the writer the public looks to for the straight talk and reliable information it needs about the world — especially when events seem too menacing or complex to comprehend and policy discussions are clouded in a smokescreen of politics and posturing.

Covering many of the monumental stories of recent decades, he has won three Pulitzer Prizes. According to Foreign Policy magazine, "Friedman doesn't just report on events; he helps shape them." Vanity Fair called him “the country’s best newspaper columnist."

His new book, co-written with Michael Mandelbaum, is That Used to Be Us: How America Fell Behind in the World It Invented and How We Can Come Back.

According to The Christian Science Monitor, “Anyone who cares about America’s future – anyone planning to vote in 2012 – ought to read this book and hear the authors’ compelling case." That Used to Be Us debuted at #2 on The New York Times bestsellers list.

His other bestsellers include Longitudes and Attitudes: The World in the Age of Terrorism, The Lexus and the Olive Tree and From Beirut to Jerusalem, which serves as a basic text on the Middle East in colleges and universities nationwide and won the National Book Award.

Ranked #2 on The Wall Street Journal's list of "influential business thinkers," named to the 2011 Thinkers50, and considered one of "America's Best Leaders" by U.S. News & World Report, Friedman is a frequent guest on programs such as Meet The Press, Morning Joe and Charlie Rose.

Carol Gilligan Psychologist, professor and novelist Carol Gilligan is best-known for her groundbreaking book, In a Different Voice, which Harvard University Press described as "the little book that started a revolution." In naming her one of the 25 most influential Americans, TIME magazine said Gilligan's work "changed the voice of psychology," forcing us to take into account the differences between men and women, boys and girls.

Published in 1982, In a Different Voice made women and girls' voices heard in their own right and with their own integrity for virtually the first time in the social sciences. Translated into 17 languages with more than 800,000 copies in print, it transformed the way we think about gender, human development and moral behavior.

Following her research on women and girls' development, Gilligan studied young boys and their parents and explored impasses in man-woman relationships. Her work continues to inspire political debate, new research, and initiatives in policy and education.

Gilligan is the recipient of the prestigious Grawemeyer Award in Education, which honors achievements in fields not recognized by the Nobel prizes, and the Heinz Award for her contributions to understanding the human condition.

She is the author or co-author of 10 books, including The Birth of Pleasure, which was praised by The Times Literary Supplement as “a thrilling new paradigm.” In Darkness Visible: Loss, Patriarchy and Democracy’s Future, co-authored with David Richards, Gilligan explored our struggles with love and violence, tracing them to a systematic disruption of intimate relationships.

Gilligan's novel Kyra was described as a “deeply emotional and a thinking person’s love story” by The San Francisco Chronicle. Her play, “The Scarlet Letter,” co-authored with her son, is a re-visioning of Nathaniel Hawthorne’s classic.

In her latest book, Joining the Resistance (April 2011), Gilligan reflects on the evolution of her thinking. The central conviction of her work today – and the central thesis of this book – is that the requisites for love and citizenship in a democratic society are one and the same.

"She captivated a standing room audience of students, faculty and lay people with her gifted ability to get a strong and powerful message across in a personal manner."

- Kent State University

Gilligan was the first holder of the Graham Professorship of Gender Studies at Harvard, where she was a member of the faculty for 34 years. University Professor at New York University, she also is a visiting professor at the University of Cambridge.

Daniel Goleman Author of Emotional Intelligence and psychologist Daniel Goleman has transformed the way the world educates children, relates to family and friends and does business.

The Harvard Business Review called emotional intelligence (EI) — which discounts IQ as the sole measure of one’s intelligence — “a revolutionary, paradigm-shattering idea.” Since its release, Emotional Intelligence has been a runaway success worldwide.

Named one of the 25 "Most Influential Business Management Books" by TIME, it has been translated into 30 languages, with over five million copies in print.

Suggested Topics: What Makes a Leader?

Emotional Excellence in the Workplace

His follow-up bestseller, Working With Emotional Intelligence, examined EI in the workplace, outlining its vast importance in achieving success in any professional setting. Primal Leadership: Learning to Lead with Emotional Intelligence (co-written with Richard Boyatzis and Annie McKee) unveiled new scientific evidence that a leader’s emotional competencies have an enormous impact on group performance and an organization’s bottom line. It was a Wall Street Journal, Business Week and New York Times business bestseller.

In 2008, The Wall Street Journal included Dr. Goleman in its top 10 ranking of influential business thinkers. In 2002, he was named one of the top 10 business intellectuals by the Accenture Institute for Strategic Change. A reporter on the brain and behavioral science for The New York Times for 12 years and twice nominated for the Pulitzer Prize, he was awarded the American Psychological Association’s Lifetime Achievement Award. He was also named to the 2011 Thinkers50, a definitive listing of the world's top business thinkers.

Dr. Goleman is expanding his article, What Makes a Leader?, the most requested reprint in the history of the Harvard Business Review, into a book of the same title.

It will be released in the fall of 2012.

Mireille Guiliano Author of French Women Don’t Get Fat, former President & CEO of Clicquot, Inc. (LVMH) Mireille Guiliano has been hailed as “a true marketing innovator” and “a barrier breaking pioneer.”

Hailing from northern France, Guiliano first came to the United States as an exchange student after completing her primary education. She later returned to Paris for her Master's degree at the Sorbonne Nouvelle. In 1984 Guiliano was tapped to re-launch the 225-year-old flagship brand Veuve Clicquot in the U.S. In two decades under her leadership, it grew from less than one percent to about 25% of the U.S. champagne market.

Her runaway bestseller, French Women Don’t Get Fat: The Secret of Eating for Pleasure introduces readers to her unique view of living which Publisher's Weekly calls "a welcome reprieve from the scores of diet books...a stirring reminder of the importance of joie de vivre."

Guiliano's latest book The French Women Don't Get Fat Cookbook came out in April 2010, which by popular request includes 150 new recipes.

Her previous book, Women, Work and The Art of Savoir Faire: Business Sense and Sensibility draws from her experiences in the highest ranks of the business world and offers a guide to balancing career and personal life, risk taking, career advancement, leadership, branding, etiquette, mentoring, communication skills, and personal relationships. While promoting the book, Guiliano found that the word she most frequently encountered among women was “fear.” Responding to these women, Guiliano remarks that “there are risks that are not worth taking, of course, but these decisions should be made out of reason, not fear.”

In 2010 magazine France-Amérique voted Mireille one of the “Top 50 French People In America Who Count.”

John Irving Novelist and screenwriter John Irving is one of the most popular and respected writers in the world. His novels have become American classics; each one is a publishing event.

Irving’s first international bestseller, The World According to Garp, introduced the world of readers to his inventive and expansive style, memorable characters and masterfully woven stories-within-stories. Garp won a National Book Award in 1980, and was made into a film starring Robin Williams that earned Academy Award nominations for both John Lithgow and Glenn Close.

Suggested Topics: Readings by John Irving

An Evening with John Irving

Since Garp’s release, all of Irving’s novels (including A Son of the Circus, A Prayer for Owen Meany, A Widow for One Year, The Fourth Hand and Until I Find You) have been translated into over 30 languages and sold tens of millions of copies. His novel, The Cider House Rules, was turned into a movie in 1999, 14 years after its initial publication. The film won him the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay, and received seven oscar nominations. Irving has three screenplays in-progress and released his 12th novel Last Night in Twisted River in October 2009.

As a child, Irving, who is dyslexic, learned to carefully read and recite every word in order to keep up in school.

Though at first practical, this absorption of language became a powerful tool in his literature. Irving earned his MFA from the University of Iowa where he studied with author Kurt Vonnegut. Irving's readings and discussions offer audiences an intimate look at his skillful use of language. He is able to artfully convey the funny, tragic, romantic, mundane, and unexpected aspects of life as we live it.

Irving has won the O. Henry Award and awards from the Rockefeller Foundation, the NEA and the Guggenheim Foundation. A former competitive wrestler and coach, he was inducted into the National Wrestling Hall of Fame in 1992, and in 2001 he was elected into the American Academy of Arts and Letters.

"John was wonderful...The audience did not want to let it end. We had 2,000 in attendance."

With her books and novels, including Annie John, Lucy, At the Bottom of the River and A Small Place, she has carved out a unique and cherished place in the American literary landscape.

Suggested Topics: An Evening with Jamaica Kincaid: A Reading

Coming of Age in A Small Place

Anyone who has spent time listening to Kincaid is able to recognize the distinctive, melodic style of a celebrated author who appeals to audiences across generations and ethnic boundaries. Kincaid’s literary “voice” is deeply rooted in her experiences as a child in her native Antigua.

Growing up under the colonial rule of England instilled in her a tragic, yet often-ignored perspective. Says Kincaid, “I never give up thinking about the way I came into the world, how my ancestors came from Africa to the West Indies as slaves. I just never forget it. It’s like a big wave that’s still pulsing.” Known for her candid and emotionally honest writing, in 1976 her work attracted the attention of William Shawn, former editor of The New Yorker, where she became a staff writer and featured columnist for nine years.

Landscapes and Memory

Kincaid won the Morton Dauwen Zabel Award from the American Academy and Institute of Arts for her first book, At the Bottom of the River. Her award-winning book, A Small Place, inspired the 2001 documentary, Life and Debt, about the impact globalization can have on a developing country. Her 2005 book Among Flowers: A Walk In The Himalayas chronicles her adventure into the mountains of Nepal with a group of botanists. Kincaid is at work on a new novel, See Now Then.

Kincaid began her academic career in 1991 at Harvard University holding joint appointments in the English and African-American Studies departments. Now a professor of literature at Claremont McKenna College, she was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Letters in 2004 and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences April 29, 2009. She's also the 2010 recipient of the Clifton Fadiman Medal.

Joe Klein Columnist for TIME and bestselling author, Joe Klein is one of America’s best political journalists, known for his provocative and probing analysis of events in our nation’s capital and abroad.

His weekly column, “In the Arena,” which covers national and international affairs, won the National Headliner Award for best magazine column. A veteran of 10 presidential campaigns, Klein has been praised for his “dogged reporting, a thorough, subtle grasp of issues, and a clear-eyed, compelling style.”

In an age of "armchair columnists," he insists on reporting the facts for himself, traveling to war zones overseas — including frequent trips to Afghanistan, Iran and the Middle East — and on campaign buses at home, in search of the truth. He is the rare political junkie who loves the intricacies of policy-making, has extensive sources not only in the U.S. Government, but throughout the world, and is at home as much in Damascus as he is in Des Moines.

The New Greatest Generation: Leadership Lessons From Veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan

As “Anonymous,” Klein wrote the #1 bestseller, Primary Colors, which The New York Times Book Review called “one of the best political novels to appear in the latter half of the 20th Century” and became a major motion picture. His other books include The Running Mate, The Natural: The Misunderstood Presidency of Bill Clinton (a New York Times bestseller), and his latest, Politics Lost, an analysis of the last 35 years of American politics and what he calls the “pollster-consultant industrial complex."

Klein has written more than 20 cover stories for TIME, ranging from political analysis to tales from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. In 2010 and 2011, he took road trips across America - driving from New York to Los Angeles, and then from Texas to Iowa - interviewing voters, politicians and community leaders about the nation's most important concerns.

Klein is a former Guggenheim Fellow and a member of the Council on Foreign Relations. His popular blog, "Swampland," is read internationally, and he appears frequently on The Chris Matthews Show, CNN and MSNBC. His next book, to be published by Simon & Schuster, will be on "The New Greatest Generation" of veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan who are bringing their skills and leadership lessons home and making a difference in communities across America.

"...Joe Klein makes you laugh and think at the same time. His incisive commentary and quick wit combine to provide a real insight into national affairs while making our political leaders come alive for the audience."

His program, Radio Lab, is an NPR series that explores new developments in science for people who are curious but not usually drawn to science shows. “I like talking about ideas, and I especially like creating images that will keep those ideas in peoples’ heads for hours, days, even months” he says. In 2007 The National Academy of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine gave Radio Lab its top honor for excellence in communicating science to the general public.

As host and executive editor of PBS' five-part documentary series, NOVAscienceNOW, Krulwich explored scientific breakthroughs and their applications, from fuel cells and hydrogen-powered cars to nanotechnology. For ABC's Brave New World series, he examined subjects ranging from artificial intelligence to human cloning.

He has won two Emmys, a George Polk Award, a Dupont Award, and the National Cancer Institute’s Extraordinary Communicator’s Award.

In his presentations and personal appearances, Robert Krulwich - creative, expressive and, most of all, curious is a show and an education all by himself.

Louise Leakey Paleontologist, conservationist, educator and National Geographic Explorer-in-Residence Dr. Louise Leakey is the youngest member of the famous Leakey family of fossil hunters in East Africa. With an adventurous spirit and unwavering focus on the advancement and understanding of human origins, she has spent much of her life leading expeditions into the remote badlands of northern Kenya. From these groundbreaking forays, Dr. Leakey and her team have yielded some of our deepest insights into what it is that makes us human.

Her team, The Koobi Fora Research Project, has made discoveries that have shaped modern thinking on the journey of humanity over the past 4 million years. One of the most publicized discoveries, Kenyanthropus platyops, challenged the earlier theories on the path of human evolution. Whether the fossil can be classified as a new genus, separate species, or unique looking individual is still up for debate.

From her earliest childhood spent among the nomadic desert people of Lake Turkana, Leakey has developed a deep attachment to the wildlife and cultural heritage of northern Kenya. Today she draws on her scientific background in human origins to work with the local communities in building a future for this region in a dramatically changing world.

Leakey co-directs the state of the art research center in the Turkana Basin where the rigorous process of search, excavation, and paleoecological and geological analysis make it one of the most comprehensive sources of information regarding the origins and evolution of humans.

Simultaneously, Dr. Leakey's work has allowed her to gain a unique perspective on the protection of the desert environment in Africa. Dr. Leakey also works with wildlife authorities to preserve the unique flora and fauna of Kenya's remotest National Park and World Heritage Site.

Additionally, she is involved with various community projects near the Ethiopian border, in an effort to improve the welfare of people on the National Park boundaries.

She was recently selected to participate in the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. The aims of the summit revolve around better understanding the problems and risks the world faces in the future.

Meave Leakey Paleontologist and zoologist Meave Leakey is the standard-bearer of a distinguished family of paleoanthropologists who have dominated their field since the beginning of the 20th century. Her life-long search for clues about our past has led her to every corner of the remote, windswept semi-deserts of Kenya’s Lake Turkana Basin. Over the last four decades, the Koobi Fora Research Project, which she currently co-directs with her eldest daughter Louise, has unearthed much of the evidence behind our current understanding of our past.

Dr. Leakey is presently focusing on the origins of our own genus, Homo, and the emergence of Homo erectus, the first human ancestor to move out of Africa. Her research focuses on the sites around Lake Turkana which are between 8 and 3 million years old. In 1999, 2000 and again in 2007 the project made sensational new discoveries of early Homo that indicate Ausralopithecus afarensis (otherwise known by the skeleton named “Lucy”) might not be the only species from which the human race descended. As National Geographic put it, Dr. Leakey's findings “challenge the straight-line story of human evolution.” The announcement of these discoveries was featured in Nature and The New York Times.

Leakey is a National Geographic Explorer-in-Residence in recognition of the 50-year relationship between “the National Geographic Society and the Leakey family dynasty of pioneering fossil hunters.” She is also a Research Professor at Stony Brook University and was the head of the division of paleontology at the National Museums of Kenya for over 30 years. A masterful storyteller, Dr. Leakey conveys the importance of studying our origins in the context of the modern world with vivid images, real-life stories and provocative questions. “We are one species that originated in Africa,” says Dr. Leakey, “If we can understand our past, we can better understand our future.”

Richard Leakey Paleoanthropologist, political advisor and environmentalist Richard Leakey has been making international headlines for more than 40 years. He is the author of over 100 articles and books including Origins and Wildlife Wars: My Fight to Save Africa’s Natural Treasures. In 1999 Leakey was named one of TIME’s 100 Greatest Minds of the 20th Century.

Son of the famous Louis B. and Mary Leakey, he and his family have been credited with some of the most significant fossil discoveries in history. Along with his parents, wife, daughter, and various other family members they have unearthed Proconsul africanus, Australopithicus boisei, Homo habilis, the footprints of Australopithecus afarensis (otherwise known by the skeleton “Lucy”), and the most intact early human skeleton ever found nicknamed “Turkana Boy"), and is referred to as being either Homo erectus or Homo ergaster.

Wildlife Wars:My Fight to Save Africa's Natural Treasures

In his 1995 book, The Sixth Extinction: Patterns of Life and The Future of Humankind, Leakey examined the five great catastrophic extinctions in the history of the planet.

Written well before our increased environmental awareness, Leakey stressed how human beings are dangerously reducing biodiversity, damaging eco-systems and possibly precipitating the next major mass extinction, which could number humans amongst its victims.

No stranger to controversy, Leakey entered the world of politics in 1994 by resigning as head of Kenya's Wildlife Service to assist in forming a political party in opposition to the country's corrupt government. Initially he was accused by the then President, Daniel arap Moi, of being a racist and a foreigner; despite having been born in Kenya. Surprisingly, in 1999, President Moi appointed Leakey into his cabinet in an attempt to pull the country out of a serious economic crisis. Leakey served as Head of Public Service and Secretary to the Cabinet until his resignation in 2001.

Now a Professor of Anthropology at Stony Brook University and an elected Fellow of the Royal Society of London (FRS) in 2007, Leakey convened the Stony Brook World Environmental Forum and the Human Evolution Symposiums and Workshops. Leakey has served as Director of the National Museums of Kenya and the Kenya Wildlife Service. He is Chair of The Turkana Basin Institute at Stony Brook and Transparency International-Kenya and recently founded WildlifeDirect, an online service that supports conservationists and allows anyone to play a role in the survival of the world’s most endangered species.

Everyone loved him. It really couldn't have been better. We got a lot of different people that we hadn't gotten before at our lectures and we also sold 200 books. It was terrific!"

In 2011 Leakey served as a consultant on the IMAX film Born To Be Wild, and in Spring 2012 The Sixth Extinction will be adapted into a movie that will be shown in IMAX theaters.

Tony Award-winning actress and singer Patti LuPone is a musical theater icon, best-known for her roles in Evita, Les Misérables, and Gypsy. As The New York Times put it, she "earned her reputation as a diva (in the benign sense) through her big talent, willingness to take risks and sheer persistence."

Patti LuPone: An 11 O'Clock Life

For over three decades, LuPone has graced the musical stage with memorable performances, including starring roles in Sweeney Todd, Anything Goes, The Robber Bridegroom and The Cradle Will Rock. In the original productions in London, she created the roles of Fantine in Les Misérables and Norma Desmond in Sunset Boulevard.

In 2008 she swept the theatre awards, winning the Tony, Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle Awards for Best Actress in a Musical for her performance as Rose in the Broadway revival of Gypsy.

LuPone shares her deep passion for music and the theatre in her New York Times bestseller, Patti LuPone: A Memoir, a frank and funny look at her life on and off the stage. Publishers Weekly called it an "engaging memoir" filled "with razor-sharp memories and hundreds of colorful anecdotes."

An alum of the inaugural graduating class of Juilliard's Drama Division, LuPone was the first American actor to win Britain's Olivier Award.

His latest book, The New Asian Hemisphere: The Irresistible Shift of Power to the East, is an incisive analysis of the dominant story of our time. He explores why Asia’s rise is happening now and how it will alter the world in the coming decades. “History tells us that tensions and conflicts are more likely when new powers emerge,” says Mahbubani. “But the Asian march to modernity represents an opportunity for the West and the world if the West learns to work with it.”

He also is the author of Can Asians Think? and Beyond the Age of Innocence: Rebuilding Trust between America and the World. According to Lawrence Summers, "There is no more thoughtful observer of Asia, the United States, and their interaction than Kishore Mahbubani."

In a TIME magazine essay filled with predictions for the future she wrote “I dream of a time when we can all accept ourselves and one another. My dream is that by 2025 I'll no longer be getting letters every week from young girls who hate themselves because of the way they look.”

A Guggenheim Fellow and an NEA and NEH award-winner, Meyerowitz was the only photographer to gain unlimited access to Ground Zero after 9/11.

Over a span of eight months, he took over 8,000 photographs of what he called "the forbidden city," capturing on film the monumental scale of the ruin as well as the moments of courage, compassion and solidarity during the recovery and clean-up.

"To me, no photographs meant no history," says Meyerowitz. "My task was to make a record of the aftermath: the awesome spectacle of destruction; the reverence for the dead; the steadfast, painstaking effort of recovery; the life of those whose act of salvation has embedded itself deeply into the consciousness of all of us in America and around the world." An exhibit from his World Trade Center Archive has traveled to over 200 cities in 60 countries, from Kabul to Lima to Beijing, and a permanent selection will be at the World Trade Center Museum.

Photographing Ground Zero: Images & Memories

Meyerowitz is the author of 17 books, including Tuscany: Inside the Light and Bystander: The History of Street Photography. His first book, Cape Light, is considered a classic work of color photography and has sold more than 100,000 copies. His work has appeared in over 350 galleries and museums around the world. He also contributed to Legacy: The Preservation of Wilderness in New York City Parks.

Meyerowitz's Aftermath: The World Trade Center Archive features 400 photographs of Ground Zero and the beauty and bravery he observed amid the loss. The images in the book are interspersed with personal reminiscences and stories celebrating the thousands of people who worked at the site.

He has been profiled by Nightline, The New York Times, People and CBS Sunday Morning. He is currently at work on book about Provence that will be released in Fall 2012.

In his presentations, he conveys his intense belief in the transformational power of art. He reaches beyond photography into the fields of architecture and urban planning, political science, communications, art history, psychology and the meaning of monuments, inspiring audiences to become more involved in their communities and the world at large.

"I think it was one of the best evenings we've ever had at the temple. His delivery was absolutely outstanding. Not only are his pictures wonderful, but he just relates so beautifully with the audience. One person said it was a shame we didn't record it because his remarks really are equally as important, we felt, as his photographs. And he's an outstanding human being. I think we were fortunate to have him. I can't say enough about the evening."

N. Scott Momaday Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist, Native American scholar and poet N. Scott Momaday has been referred to as “the dean of American Indian writers” by The New York Times. He crafts — in language and imagery — majestic landscapes of a sacred culture.

Named a UNESCO Artist for Peace and Oklahoma’s poet laureate, he is also a recipient of the 2007 National Medal of Arts for “introducing millions worldwide to the essence of Native American culture.” Momaday is the founder of The Buffalo Trust, dedicated to the preservation of Native American culture and heritage. He has held tenured teaching posts at UC Berkeley, Stanford University and the University of Arizona.

Momaday was the first Native American to be awarded the Pulitzer Prize for his novel, House Made of Dawn.

Behind it all beats the heart of the oral storyteller, keeping alive — in myths and memories — the people persecuted and the land lost. “In the oral tradition,” says Momaday, “stories are not told merely to entertain or instruct. They are told to be believed. Stories are realities lived and believed. They are true.”

"Dr. Momaday's presence on campus and in our community was greeted with such deep appreciation and interest it was stunning. Every single seat in our lecture hall was filled; students opted to sit on the floor just to listen to his voice. Scott Momaday is a treasure, not only to the Native American community, but to the American community and to our world community as a powerful voice of where we have been and where we are going. Stunning."

Walter Mosley Novelist and social commentator Walter Mosley is one of the most powerful and prolific writers working today in any genre. He is the author of more than 35 books, ranging from the crime novel to literary fiction, nonfiction, political essay, young adult and science fiction. The New York Review of Books called him "a literary master as well as a master of mystery," and The Boston Globe hailed him as “one of the nation's finest writers."

Suggested Topics: The Only True Race is the Human Race

The Literary Life

Memory, Aging and Family Legacy

In his fiction, Mosley has explored the black experience in America over the past seven decades, beginning with the migration of African-Americans from the Deep South to his native Los Angeles in the post-World War II era and through post-Obama election-era New York City. He has created memorable characters like Fearless Jones and Socrates Fortlow, the sort of "fully formed, complex black men who have been absent,” he says, “from much of contemporary literature.”

Twelve Steps Toward Political Revelation

His Easy Rawlins detective series began with Devil in a Blue Dress, which was made into a feature film starring Denzel Washington, and included The New York Times bestseller Little Scarlet. He is writing an HBO series based on the debut novel in his Leonid McGill series, The Long Fall; the pilot will be directed by Jonathan Demme. Mosley's third book in the series, When the Thrill is Gone, was published in March 2011. Booklist called his 2010 release, The Last Days of Ptolemy Grey, "a deeply thoughtful, provocative, and often beautiful meditation on aging, memory, family, loss, and love."

In his nonfiction, What Next: A Memoir Towards World Peace, Workin’ on the Chain Gang, and Life Out of Context, he has examined ways that we can contribute to political, economic, and social progress in America.

As an editorial board member of The Nation, Mosley conceived "Ten Things," a monthly feature connecting readers to opportunities for advocacy and activism. His latest book is Twelve Steps Toward Political Revelation (May 2011).

Mosley was the first African-American to serve on the board of directors of the National Book Awards. His honors include an O’Henry Award, a Grammy, The Sundance Risktaker Award, and the PEN USA Lifetime Achievement Award, and he twice has been awarded the NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Literary Work.

"Mr. Mosley was superb! He made us laugh by mixing humor and good common sense. [He] is so cool, so eloquent and witty. He was a pleasure to work with."

Sylvia Nasar The first John S. and James L. Knight Professor of Business Journalism at Columbia University, Sylvia Nasar is known for the elegance of her prose and her megabestseller, A Beautiful Mind. A former economic correspondent for The New York Times, she also is the author of Grand Pursuit: The Story of Economic Genius in Modern Times, which has received rave reviews following its release in September 2011.

Grand Pursuit is an epic, uplifting account of the making of modern economics -- from Victorian England to modern-day India -- and how the insights of various thinkers transformed the world. Nasar traces the development of a revolution in human thinking that was unimaginable 200 years ago -- the notion that the bottom nine tenths of humanity could escape the age-old sentence of endless poverty and a life of drudgery, that nations could shape their own destinies. The Nation described the book as "a timely reminder of the importance of the so-called dismal science...compellingly written, full of detail and vivid anecdotes, and with a refreshing focus on people rather than prices.” The Economist said, "Grand Pursuit deserves a place not only in every economist’s study but also on every serious reader’s bedside table."

Her biography, A Beautiful Mind, which won won the National Book Critics Circle Award, helped put a human face on a devastating mental illness. Published in 30 languages including Farsi, Turkish, Russian and Hindi, it inspired the Academy Award-winning film starring Russell Crowe.

Nasar has been a visiting scholar at Cambridge University, the Russell Sage Foundation and the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton. Her work has appeared in The New Yorker, Newsweek, FastCompany and many other publications. At Columbia University she co-directs the M.A. program in business journalism and teaches a graduate seminar in economics reporting that focuses on globalization, growth, living standards and business cycles.

Jacques Pépin Master chef, author, and educator Jacques Pépin is the “original Iron Chef.” He has published over 25 cookbooks, hosted 13 highly acclaimed public television shows and taught millions of Americans – plus an entire generation of chefs how to cook. His innovative approach to the kitchen begins with technique and ends with creation, believing that every meal should be a celebration.

His latest book, Essential Pépin, released in October 2011 accompanied by a 26-part television series produced by KQED Public Television in San Francisco.

This book updates the best of his six-decade career in the kitchen. Anthony Bourdain remarked, "Jacques Pé pin is The Master. The undisputed authority on…well, just about everything relating to food. If Jacques Pepin tells you this is the way to make an omelet — or to roast a chicken, then for me, the matter is settled. Nobody knows more or does it better.”

The Apprentice:An Evening with Jacques Pépin

Pépin shared the spotlight with the iconic Julia Child on the award-winning Julia and Jacques Cooking at Home.

The series went on to win a Daytime Emmy and the James Beard Foundation’s award for Best National Cooking Show. The duo developed and taught a master’s degree program in gastronomy at Boston University where Pèpin still teaches today. Another of Pé pin’s programs featured his daughter, Claudine.

Born in Bourg-en-Bresse, France, he worked in his parent’s restaurant, Chez Pépin, as a child before starting his formal apprenticeship at age 13. After a meteoric rise through the ranks, Pépin became the personal chef for three French heads of state, including Charles de Gaulle.

Upon moving to the United States, Pépin turned down the position of White House chef to direct research and development at Howard Johnson’s, where he helped revolutionize food chemistry, mass production techniques and subsequently, American food tastes.

Pépin has built his career as a master craftsman who presents accessible recipes for any kitchen with ingredients found in the local grocery store. He maintains the perspective that everyone can cook with some basic training and preparation.

"Thrilled is the only emotion to describe people’s reactions to you....

You have so many fans it’s truly extraordinary."

- The Preservation Society of Newport County

“A powerful presenter and priceless resource,” Pépin has taught at the French Culinary Institute since 1988, currently serving as Dean of Special Programs. Pépin’s many honors include France’s highest recognition, the Légion d'honneur. He is the Executive Culinary Director for Oceania Cruises and a popular guest on TV programs including The Late Show with David Letterman, TODAY, and Good Morning America.

An Evening With Hal Prince in Word and Song

His extraordinary resume as director and/or producer includes many of the most important musicals of the past six decades from West Side Story (’50s), Fiddler on the Roof and Cabaret (’60s), Follies, Sweeney Todd and Evita (’70s), to Phantom of the Opera (’80s) and a definitive revival of Showboat (’90s).

He has directed two films, Something For Everyone and A Little Night Music, as well as operas for the Metropolitan Opera, The New York City Opera, the Housten Grand Opera, and the Vienna Staatsoper.

Prince served as the inspiration for John Lithgow's character in the Bob Fosse film All That Jazz, and was the basis of a character in Richard Bissell's novel Say, Darling which recounted Bissell's experience of turning an earlier novel into the musical The Pajama Game. The novel-turned-musical was co-produced by Prince in 1955 and ended up winning a Tony Award for Best Musical.

His musical, LoveMusik, debuted in 2007 about which John Simon wrote “I saw it three times, and have come to think that it was very likely the best musical I have ever seen.” Prince's Paradise Found opened in London in 2010. In the fall of 2012, his new musical Prince of Broadway, celebrating and re-examining a variety of material from his theater career, will debut on Broadway.

In his lectures, Prince looks back on his storied career and discusses the changes that have taken place on Broadway over the years including the impact of higher ticket prices and increased corporate investment. He also speaks of his enthusiasm for regional theatre throughout America.

"Mr. Prince's visit was a wonderful success. He was inspirational, informative, helpful, friendly, down-to-earth and entertaining. We found him so easy to be with and so full of information about his creative process. He delighted both faculty and students alike. We truly enjoyed meeting and talking with him."

In his New York Times bestseller, Justice, Sandel examines the meaning of justice and a range of topics, from government bailouts to immigration reform, taking readers on a journey of moral and political reflection "to figure out what they think and why."

Publishers Weekly called it "erudite, conversational and deeply humane... truly transformative reading."

Bioethics

Markets, Morals, and Civic Life

Sandel served on the President's Council on Bioethics from 2002-2005, appointed by the President to examine the ethical implications of new biomedical technologies.

In his book, The Case Against Perfection: Ethics in the Age of Genetic Engineering, he examines the moral quandaries related to the quest to perfect ourselves and our children. Booklist said “an illuminating ethical analysis of stem-cell research concludes this stellar work of public philosophy.”

Sandel’s other books include Liberalism and the Limits of Justice; Democracy’s Discontent; and Public Philosophy: Essays on Morality in Politics. His work has been translated into 15 languages.

A recipient of the Harvard-Radcliffe Phi Beta Kappa Teaching Prize, Sandel was recognized by the American Political Science Association for a career of excellence in teaching.

"Professor Sandel’s visit to Seoul was a marvelous success. The response to his visit was simply overwhelming. He was like a rock star! Some 4,500 audiences packed the auditorium for his public lecture.

It was the biggest auditorium in Seoul and I’m sure had we had a bigger one, we would have filled that, too."

Alice Schroeder Bloomberg View columnist, BusinessWeek contributing writer, and former regulator, CPA, and all-star securities analyst, Alice Schroeder is the author of The Snowball: Warren Buffett and the Business of Life, a #1 New York Times and #1 Wall Street Journal bestseller. Risk and Insurance magazine called her "one of the most respected -- and unafraid -thinkers on Wall Street."

The Snowball is a revealing and complete look at the life, wisdom, and philosophy of Buffett, from the development of his outlook on the world and the principles he lives by to the business secrets he never before shared publicly.

Schroeder was the first and only analyst to obtain an interview with the famously reticent Buffett. Telling The New York Times, "I like the way she thinks and writes," he gave her unprecedented access to himself, his files and his network, devoting massive amounts of his time over the course of five years as she researched and wrote the book.

An Amazon #1 Business and Investing Book of the Year, The Snowball has been called by reviewers the “bible of capitalism,” “penetrating,” “brave,” “startlingly frank,” and a book that is “almost impossible to stop reading.” It was named one of the 10 best books of the year by TIME and a "definitive portrait" by Janet Maslin in The New York Times.

Schroeder came to journalism armed with substantial business experience as a 15-year veteran of Wall Street and having been ranked at the top of her profession in the Institutional Investor All-America Research poll. A former managing director at Morgan Stanley, she began her career as an auditor for Ernst & Young and was a regulator with the Financial Accounting Standards Board, where she drafted some of the most significant accounting rules affecting the insurance industry. Her 54-page report for PaineWebber on Berkshire Hathaway in 1999 was the first comprehensive look at Buffett's company and became a bestseller.

She currently is working on two books: an investing book that will reveal for the first time exactly how Warren Buffett selected his investments and got rich; and a book on “adaptive entrepreneurship" following the financial crisis and great recession.

"She was the highest rated speaker at the conference. She was also fun to deal with in advance."

The winner of two Peabody Awards and Emmy Awards in every decade since the ‘70’s, he has been named to TV Guide’s All-Star News “dream team.” Using every device he can think of — from teaching the tricks of Enron’s “accounting alchemy” with a magic wand and disappearing dollars to explaining earnings growth with tortilla dough — Solman has illuminated hundreds of economics stories on topics both sober (unemployment and Social Security reform) and light (the workings of the circus and the NFL).

Ethics: What Would Jesus Do? (Or Mohammed, For That Matter?)

His NewsHour reporting has included a seven-part series on the rise of China, a series on the business response to global warming, and a year-long series, “America’s Response to Globalization,” exploring the global economic challenges facing the United States, including such issues as the manufacturing renaissance in the Midwest, the export revival in California, the alternative energy revolution in Pittsburgh and how to create the next generation of competitive Americans.

He's also been explaining hedge funds, the subprime crisis and "moral hazard" at the Fed. “What I’m looking for is the most memorable image I can find to beguile audiences and plant the information in their heads,” says Solman. He has interviewed heads of state, bialy bakers, CEOs such as Jack Welch, Nobel laureates and inner-city kids performing Shakespeare.

Solman has written for numerous publications, including Forbes and Mother Jones. He was the co-originator and executive editor of PBS's business documentary series, Enterprise, and co-authored Life and Death on the Corporate Battlefield. He also helped create, with Morrie Schwartz, and wrote the introduction to, the book Morrie: In His Own Words, which preceded Tuesdays with Morrie.

A one-time cab driver, kindergarten teacher and management consultant, Solman has taught at Harvard Business School’s Advanced Management Program and is also the Brady-Johnson Distinguished Fellow in Political Economy at Yale, teaching in the university's "Studies in Grand Strategy" course. He will be a visiting professor at Brandeis University in the fall of 2011.

How to Fix the Financial System

His national bestseller, Too Big To Fail: The Inside Story of How Wall Street and Washington Fought to Save the Financial System -- and Themselves, was the first behind-the-scenes, moment-by-moment account of how the financial crisis developed into a global tsunami. From inside the corner office at Lehman Brothers to secret meetings in South Korea, Russia, and the corridors of Washington, Sorkin reconstructed the drama and turmoil.

"I tried to bring to life the machinations, interlinking relationships, and even some of the duplicity among the various players involved while answering the big question -- how did it all happen?"

The Politics of Too Big to Fail

The Economist, The Financial Times and BusinessWeek all named Too Big To Fail one of the best books of the year. HBO turned the book into a film by the same title, premiering in May 2011; directed by L.A. Confidential director Curtis Hanson and co-produced by Sorkin, it stars William Hurt, Paul Giamatti, Billy Crudup, and James Woods.

Sorkin began writing for The Times in 1995 under unusual circumstances: he hadn’t yet graduated from high school. He continued to write for the paper during his college days at Cornell and while studying abroad in London, publishing 71 articles on media, business and technology before he graduated. DealBook, which Sorkin created in 2001, began as one of the first financial news aggregation services on the Web. He developed it into an award-winning blog providing exclusive interviews, original analysis, and breaking news about mergers and acquisitions, IPOs, private equity transactions and venture capital deals.

"He was TERRIFIC! What a great and engaging speaker."

- Kellogg School of Management, Northwestern University

Named a Young Global Leader by the World Economic Forum, Sorkin received a Gerald Loeb Award, the highest honor in business journalism, for breaking news, and he won the 2010 Loeb Award for Best Business Book. He also is a two-time winner of the Society of American Business Editors and Writers Award for breaking news. SiliconAlleyInsider.com called him one of New York's "most influential scribes," and Vanity Fair named him one of 40 new members of the "Next Establishment."

Citing the 2009 bank bailout as an intervention gone awry, Spitzer’s methodical text suggests strategic ways the U.S. government and business world could coexist while initiating real change for both the global economy and public interest. The Booklist review praised his work, saying “This tract returns Spitzer to the original impression he made on the political scene as a scourge of Wall Street.”

Born and raised in the Bronx, Spitzer attended the Horace Mann School before studying at Princeton University’s Woodrow Wilson School of Public & International Affairs. After graduation, he attended Harvard Law School where he served as an Editor of the Harvard Law Review and worked for famed law professor Alan Dershowitz.

In addition to his high-profile television career, Spitzer helps run the family real estate business and works as an adjunct professor of Political Science at the City University of New York teaching “Law and Public Policy” to undergraduate students.

James B. Stewart Business Columnist for The New York Times and bestselling author, James B. Stewart combines the skills of an investigative reporter with the style and sensibility of a novelist, examining events in finance, law and politics that shape American society. The San Francisco Examiner called him “the journalist every journalist would like to be,” and in 2010 The Daily Beast named him one of the 15 "most important writers on business and economics."

Stewart's “Common Sense” column, which appears weekly in the Business Day section of the Times, features his insights about corporate America and Wall Street. Throughout his career, he has explored the use and abuse of power at the highest levels of business and government, from his Pulitzer Prize-winning Wall Street Journal articles on the 1987 stock market crash to pieces about Enron, Whitewater, Tyco’s Dennis Kozlowski and corporate governance.

Heart of a Soldier: A Story of Love, Heroism, and September 11th

A reporter-at-large for The New Yorker and formerly a columnist for The Wall Street Journal and Editor-at-Large for SmartMoney, Stewart has written penetrating profiles of Michael Milken, Blackstone Group's Stephen Schwarzman, and Jérôme Kerviel, the rogue trader who lost billions of euros for Société Générale. His acclaimed New Yorker cover story, "Eight Days: The Battle to Save the American Financial System," which included revealing interviews with Ben Bernanke, Hank Paulson and Timothy Geithner, captured the fierce arguments and panicked dealmaking behind the scenes that brought about unprecedented government intervention following the collapse of Lehman Brothers.

His New York Times bestseller, DisneyWar, won the Loeb Award for Best Business Book and was named one of the best books of the year by Barron’s. Stewart’s Heart of a Soldier was named “Best Book about 9/11” by TIME. His other bestsellers include Blood Sport, Blind Eye and Den of Thieves, the definitive account of 1980s Wall Street insider trading scandals.

His latest book, Tangled Webs: How False Statements are Undermining America: From Martha Stewart to Bernie Madoff (April 2011), is an investigation of the perjury epidemic in America, which he suggests is symptomatic of an alarming breakdown of ethics that compromises our judicial system as well as business, government, academia and medicine.

"You are a gifted storyteller and had us spellbound....It was a memorable evening!"

A Harvard-educated lawyer and the former Executive Editor of American Lawyer magazine, Stewart is the Bloomberg Professor of Business Journalism at the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism.

Andrew Sullivan Journalist and author Andrew Sullivan, whose blog, "The Daily Dish," can now be found on The Daily Beast, is a popular source for provocative and astute political and social commentary. National Public Radio called him "one of the most widely read, influential and prolific political voices online."

Currently a contributor to Newsweek, Sullivan was one of the first journalists to experiment with blogging more than a decade ago. He writes 250 to 300 posts per week for "The Daily Dish," which includes his incisive analyis and blunt observations about international affairs, domestic politics, cultural issues, religion and faith as well as links to noteworthy reporting and commentary from other writers. Playboy ranked it #1 on its list of Top 10 Political Blogs in America, and The Week called it "a personal showcase that could only exist on the Web" where Sullivan uses "his powerful intellect and critical faculties to raise questions, examine issues, wage feuds, advance crusades, and rebut fallacies."

Prior to moving to The Daily Beast, "The Daily Dish" was found at The Atlantic, where Sullivan also served as a senior editor after working as a columnist for TIME and the Sunday Times of London. He was the youngest editor-in-chief in the history of The New Republic and was acknowledged for making the magazine more relevant to readers of his generation. He was named Editor of the Year by Adweek and received National Magazine Awards for Reporting, General Excellence and Public Interest.

In his book, The Conservative Soul: Fundamentalism, Freedom, and the Future of the Right, Sullivan argued for a conservatism based on practical restraint, individual freedom, constitutional norms and skepticism. His landmark book, Virtually Normal: An Argument About Homosexuality, was the first to advocate civil marriage rights for gay couples. It set the gay rights movement's agenda for the following decade. He also is the author of Same Sex Marriage: Pro and Con and Love Undetectable: Notes on Friendship, Sex and Survival.

Sullivan has written extensively and passionately on a wide range of topics, including the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, civil liberties and torture, the crisis in the Catholic Church, the upheaval in the Middle East, and the future of the media. A practicing Catholic, he has challenged the Church's position on gay life.

"Andrew's presentation had the clarity, eloquence and intellectual firepower one would expect from him."

A graduate of Oxford and Harvard and a seasoned speaker known for his sharp debating skills, Sullivan is a regular panelist on The Chris Matthews Show and Real Time with Bill Maher and appears on many other programs, including Charlie Rose, Anderson Cooper 360° and Meet The Press.

That same year, Tynan joined Anthony Kearns and John McDermott as The Irish Tenors, an instant worldwide sensation. His CD, Ronan, debuted at #2 in 2005 on Billboard’s Classical Crossover Chart. His 2009 CD, Sing Me an Irish Song, is a collection of Irish favorites, and his latest CD, All Kinds Of Everything, features classic performances from his career.

Terry Waite Humanitarian, hostage negotiator and author of several books including the international bestseller Taken on Trust, Terry Waite has led a remarkable life as a diplomat and a humanitarian. A world-renowned agent of peace, he is a testament to the power and resilience of the human spirit.

Waite garnered international recognition in the 1980s when, as a special envoy to the Archbishop of Canterbury, he successfully negotiated the release of hostages in Iran and then Libya. In 1987, while negotiating the release of hostages in Beirut, Waite was himself taken hostage and held in captivity for 1,763 days (four years of which were in solitary confinement).

Somehow, in a remarkable display of character, Waite was able to return home harboring no resentment towards his captors. In 2005 he made headlines by returning to Lebanon for the first time since his release to visit refugee camps and research the effects of war on the young. “What I have tried to do is take the positive side of the experience of being a hostage and build on it” he says.

He is also a regular commentator on current affairs and a frequent contributor of articles for British newspapers and journals. He is the co-founder of Hostage UK, which advises families and companies about the global risks of hostage-taking.

With a broad perspective of world affairs and a deep understanding of diverse cultures, Waite now devotes most of his time to intercultural relations, conflict resolution and humanitarian causes around the world.

He is the president of Emmaus UK (Homeless), as well as founder and president of Y Care International and the U.K. Ambassador for the Lifeline Energy Foundation. He has been awarded doctorates from leading Universities both in the United Kingdom and abroad.

Named one of “the world’s 100 most influential people”

by TIME, Dr. Weil is the Director of the Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine at the University of Arizona’s College of Medicine. Weil's general philosophy is that mainstream and alternative medicine are equally important, and should be utilized in conjunction with each other. Waite can be credited with terming this practice “integrative medicine.” The Center was the first to include courses on alternative therapies, mind/body interactions, nutrition, healing and other subjects not currently emphasized in medical education. As well as being a proponent of a diet full of organic fruits and vegetables, Weil has also claimed that sugar, starch, and trans-fat are perhaps more dangerous to the body than saturated fats.

Naomi Wolf Author, social critic, and political activist Naomi Wolf raises awareness of the pervasive inequities that exist in society and politics. She encourages people to take charge of their lives, voice their concerns and enact change.

Wolf’s landmark international bestseller, The Beauty Myth, challenged the cosmetics industry and the marketing of unrealistic standards of beauty, launching a new wave of feminism in the early 1990s. The New York Times called it one of the most important books of the 20th century. Her next book, Vagina: A Cultural History, will be released in 2012.

Wolf’s New York Times bestseller, The End of America: A Letter of Warning to a Young Patriot, is an impassioned call to return to the aspirations and beliefs of the Founders’ ideals of liberty. The New York Times called the documentary version “pointedly inflammatory.” Her latest book, Give Me Liberty: A Handbook For American Revolutionaries, includes effective tools for citizens to promote civic engagement and create sustainable democracy.

BD Wong Tony Award-winning actor BD Wong is one of America’s most versatile performers. He plays forensic psychiatrist, Dr. George Huang, on NBC’s Law and Order: SVU, and his role as Father Ray Mukada on the HBO series Oz made him a cult favorite.

Wong’s film credits include Father of the Bride, The Freshman, Seven Years in Tibet and Disney’s Mulan, but it is in the theater that Wong first gained national attention. His Broadway debut in M. Butterfly earned him the Tony Award, Outer Critic’s Circle Award, Theatre World Award, Clarence Derwent Award and Drama Desk Award. He is the only actor to have won all five awards for a single role.

In his memoir, Following Foo: The Electronic Adventures of the Chestnut Man, Wong recounts the remarkable highs and lows that he and his partner endured on the road to parenthood, and the difficult days following the premature birth of his twin boys via surrogate mother. He was recently invited to participate in a conversation on fatherhood and male mentorship at The White House. In 2003, Wong won the GLAAD Davidson/Valenti award.

He is an outspoken advocate for The Trevor Project's It Gets Better campaign, and was honored for his support of the LGBT community at the 2010 annual Marriage Equality Gala.

The lessons Wong has learned in order to survive and excel in a vocation fraught with rejection and racism have given him a keen perspective on diversity. Lauded for their resonant and inspirational messages, his presentations address many issues including racial self-image, Asian-American parental pressure and the “model-minority myth.”

This year, Wong was voted one of the top Best Asian Actors In Hollywood by Screenjunkies and, after an eleven year run on Law and Order: SVU, he will star in NBC's new drama series, Awake.
