Live Online Lecture and Q & A with Saeed Jones
April 1, 2021 @ 5:00 pm - 6:00 pm
FreeSaeed Jones is an essential author as well as a powerful voice in the world of literary activism, and his writing often takes on questions of identity. Formerly a major contributor at Buzzfeed, he shaped his platform into a tool for social awareness with his no-holds-barred personality. In 2019, Saeed released his highly anticipated memoir, How We Fight for Our Lives. In this memoir, Saeed has developed a one-of-a-kind style that is as beautiful as it is powerful, and he has cemented himself as an essential writer of our time.
This event will be free and open to the public. For the link and password to the event, write to anelson@clark.edu.
*Because this lecture falls during Clark College’s spring break, a recording will be made available to Clark students for 10 days after the event, and a follow-up Q & A between Saeed Jones and Clark students will take place on April 13th.
