An Afternoon with Lynsey Addario

Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalist Lynsey Addario discusses her experiences covering Afghanistan with award-winning interviewer Steve Edwards, formerly of WBEZ and the University of Chicago’s Institute of Politics. Ms. Addario will discuss her experience covering Afghanistan for 20 years — what life was like, especially for women, during the Taliban’s rule, how life changed for women in the 20 years she’s been covering the country, and how Afghans are reacting now. She will also share powerful images that she captured.
