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." - College of Wooster, Ohio

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.”

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

It was the biggest auditorium in Seoul and I’m sure had we had a bigger one, we would have filled that, too." - The ASAN Institute for Policy Studies

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.

The Need for Radical Surgery to End the Trend Toward Extreme Wealth Disparity

From 1998 to 2006, Spitzer conquered New York state as Attorney General earning the nickname the “Sheriff of Wall Street,” while setting a new standard for law enforcement in financial fraud, environmental protection and civil rights. Recognition of his efforts included being named as TIME magazine’s “Crusader of the Year" in 2002 and the Financial Times’ 2004 “Person of the Year.” His determination and focus led to a successful campaign for Governor of New York, winning nearly 70 percent of the vote. In April 2011, Spitzer published his first book Government’s Place in the Market, which analyzes how and when government should step in on marketplace issues. 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!" - Strong Financial

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.

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 the co-founder of Hostage UK, which advises families and companies about the global risks of hostage-taking.

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.

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.
