On November 16th, join a brown bag conversation with Khan about charting a career in conflict reporting, staying safe in the field, navigating ethical minefields, and other conflict essentials.
Professor Khan will also talk about her class, "Reporting in Conflict Zones," which will be offered in the spring semester.
Pizza will be served.
