3 – 5 p.m. -- John D. Sullivan Memorial Lecture

Join us for a talk with author Mark Arax who will discuss his forthcoming book, The Dreamt Land: Chasing Dust and Water Across California. In the world of journalism, Arax stands out as a rarity. On one hand, he is a skilled investigative reporter who unearths secrets from the depths of shadow governments. On the other hand, he is a gifted writer whose feature stories and books are distinguished by the “poetry of his prose.” A top graduate of Fresno State and Columbia University, Arax left the Los Angeles Times in 2007 after a public fight over censorship of his story on the Armenian Genocide. He has taught literary nonfiction at Claremont McKenna College and Fresno State University and served as a senior policy director for the California Senate Majority Leader. Presented by the Robert Redford Conservancy for Southern California Sustainability.

RSVPs are not required for this event.
