Jeremy Schahill: Caltech Y Social Activism Speaker Series

Presented By: Caltech Y Social Activism Speaker Series

Jeremy Scahill

Independent journalist and international best-selling author, Jeremy Scahill reports on wars, the military-industrial complex and national security. He is recently back from Afghanistan and Somalia, which Scahill says are two of the frontiers in the global U.S. targeted killing campaign. He represents the exceedingly rare U.S. journalist who independently conducts investigations abroad without being embedded with the U.S. military or foreign governments. 

Scahill is the author of "Blackwater: The Rise of the World's Most Powerful Mercenary Army," named by AlterNet as the best progressive book of the year. He is a frequent contributor to The Nation magazine and is a correspondent for the national radio and television program Democracy Now! He is currently a Puffin Foundation Writing Fellow at The Nation Institute.

Sponsored by the Moore-Hufstedler Fund, the Graduate Student Council and the Caltech Y.
