Description
In this audiovisual recording from Wednesday, March 24, 2021, as part of the 52nd Annual UND Writers Conference: “Roots of the Earth,” Sonia Shah reads from her work. She begins by discussing how she became a writer and how she decided to write about science, history, and politics as a journalist. Shah reads from Pandemic: Tracking Contagions, from Cholera to Ebola and Beyond. Shah also responds to audience questions about the effect that the establishment of nation-states had on migration, how political and racial conflict affect the writing of her book, how she balances research and writing, the future of science reporting in the mass media, and advice on narrative structure and form in creative nonfiction.
Introduced by Dr. Brad Rundquist, Dean of the College of Arts & Sciences.
