The Wolfe Institute The Ethyle R.Wolfe Institute for the Humanities, in cooperation with the Department of Political Science and the Office of the Dean of Humanities and Social Sciences, presents The Thirthy-ninth Samuel J. Konefsky Memorial Lecture Civil Liberties and Endless War in the Age of Obama

Glenn Greenwald, a former constitutional and civil rights litigator, is now a columnist at The Guardian, where writes about civil liberties, national security and US political and media culture. He is the author of three New York Times Bestselling Books: two on the Bush administration’s executive power and foreign policy abuses, and a third, With Liberty and Justice for Some (2011), an indictment of America’s two-tiered system of justice. Greenwald was named by The Atlantic as one of the 25 most influential political commentators in the nation, and by Newsweek as one of the nation’s top 10 opinion writers. He is the recipient of the first annual I.F. Stone Award for Independent Journalism, and is the winner of the 2010 Online Journalism Association Award for his investigative work on the arrest and oppressive detention of Bradley Manning. MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow called Greenwald “the American Left’s most fearless political commentator.” Filmmaker Michael Moore said: “The first thing I do when I turn on the computer in the morning is go to Glenn Greenwald’s blog to see what he said. He is truly one of our greatest writers right now.” And Bill Moyers described him as “the most important voice to have entered the political discourse in years.” Monday, March 4, 2013 1:00 p.m. Gold Room, sixth floor Brooklyn College Student Center Campus Road and East 27th Street For information: 718.951.5847 [email protected] Twitter: twitter.com/Wolfe_Institute
