Conflict, war, extremism, and oppression often dominate news headlines, overshadowing the human impact of these stories. Mona El-Naggar brings these narratives to life as an international correspondent and video journalist with years of experience producing and driving award-winning work for The New York Times. Based in Cairo, she authors stories that focus on issues of identity and often fall at the intersection of politics, religion, gender and youth culture. Some of her most recent work features a series of character profiles that shed light on the human toll of the war in Gaza. A Pulitzer Prize finalist, Emmy nominee, and current Berlin Prize Fellow at the American Academy of Berlin, El-Naggar will be in conversation with Jonathan Smolin, Associate Professor of Middle Eastern Studies at Dartmouth College, to discuss her career and the stories behind the headlines.
