Meelya Gordon Memorial Lecture

In conversation with Marc Lamont Hill

British American journalist Mehdi Hasan hosts the eponymously titled The Mehdi Hasan Show, a news and politics program that airs on MSNBC and NBC’s streaming channel Peacock. He is also the fill-in host for The Rachel Maddow Show, All in with Chris Hayes, and The Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell, among other programs. A former presenter on Al Jazeera English, a former columnist and podcaster for The Intercept, and former political director of the UK edition of The Huffington Post, he has published opinion pieces in a variety of publications, including The New York Times and The Washington Post. In Win Every Argument, Hasan not only presents a practical guide to the art of rhetoric, he shares a philosophical claim for good-faith argument’s value to democracy and truth.

The Steve Charles Chair in Media, Cities and Solutions at Temple University, Marc Lamont Hill is the host of BET News and the Coffee and Books podcast. The recipient of honors from the National Association of Black Journalists, GLAAD, and the International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences, he is the author of six books, including Beats, Rhymes, and Classroom Life; Nobody: Casualties of America's War on the Vulnerable, from Ferguson to Flint and Beyond; and Except for Palestine: The Limits of Progressive Politics.
