Kristof
In his search to shed light on the profound challenges people living in underdeveloped countries must endure, Kristof frequently has placed himself in danger.
Despite the atrocities he has witnessed, the co-author of Half the Sky: Turning Oppression Into Opportunity for Women Worldwide remains committed to giving a voice to the most vulnerable.
Kristof’s lecture, part of the university’s Assembly Series, is sponsored by the George Warren Brown School of Social Work, the School of Law, the Association of Women Faculty, the Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies program in Arts & Sciences, GlobeMed and the Washington University Student Union.
