Cobb offers a clear-eyed look at a turbulent decade of grass-roots social movements and the eventual right-wing backlash they inspired.” Dean of the Columbia Journalism School, Cobb received the 2020 Peabody Award for the Frontline documentary, Whose Vote Counts?, and was a finalist for the 2018 Pulitzer Prize for commentary. 7:30 p.m. Monday, March 2 Conversation / Q&A Page Hall, Downtown UAlbany Campus 135 Western Avenue Albany NY 12203 Free and open to the public.
