Pulitzer-prize winner and New York Times’ correspondent Jeffrey Gettleman comes to Hawaii to share stories about covering wars in Africa, decoding foreign cultures as a journalist, and to discuss how Africa connects to the world.
Jeffrey Gettleman is the South Asia bureau chief for The New York Times. He has won many journalism awards, including the Pulitzer Prize for international reporting. The longest serving East Africa bureau chief in New York Times history, he recently relocated to India after spending more than a decade in East Africa covering warlords, pirates, too many rebel movements to count, economic growth, elephant poachers and tasty African food. Traveling across the continent, he’s used just about every mode of conveyance from donkey cart and dugout canoe to a battered tandem bike.
Jeffrey graduated from Cornell University with distinction and earned a master's of philosophy degree from Oxford, where he was a Marshall Scholar. He has appeared as a foreign affairs commentator on the BBC, CNN, NPR and other networks and has written for many publications, including National Geographic, Foreign Policy, the New York Review of Books, the New York Times Sunday Magazine, The New Republic and GQ. Jeffrey lives in New Delhi with his wife and two boys. He is the author of the new memoir Love, Africa.
