Student conversation with New York Times columnist, Jamelle Bouie

Join New York Times columnist, Jamelle Bouie, for a conversation exclusively for students in Lancaster Lounge from 4:30 p.m.-5:30 p.m. on Wednesday, March 4, 2026. 

A columnist for The New York Times and former political analyst for CBS News, Bouie covers US politics, public policy, elections, and race. His political instincts provide audiences with unique insight on the past, present, and future of our national politics, policy, and the state of race relations. As he did while writing for Slate and The Daily Beast, Bouie shares eye-opening perspectives on issues concerning issues at play in America today.

He has appeared on CBS’s Face the Nation, and his writings have appeared in The Atlantic, The Washington Post, TIME, and The New Yorker. Named to Forbes’ “30 Under 30 in Media” in 2015, Bouie is a leading voice who takes audiences to the front lines of the nation’s most significant news events, from civil unrest to political partisanship. With his ability to stimulate provocative, much-needed thinking on critical issues, he helps audiences analyze current events through the lens of human history and in the age of social media and deftly illustrates how the past reveals itself in the present and how policymakers, citizen activists, and cultural influencers can seize the power of information to make a difference.

Following the student conversation, Jamelle Bouie will deliver the Tom Cassidy Lecture at 7:30 p.m. in Kresge Auditorium. More information can be found here: https://cglink.me/2dK/r1959423
