PBS' Kira Kay in Traverse City

Sept. 16, 2014

The International Affairs Forum of Northwestern Michigan College kicks off its new season this week. Kira Kay, special correspondent for the PBS NewsHour and co-founder of the Bureau for International Reporting, will speak at the Dennos Museum's Milliken Auditorium on Thurs., Sept. 18, at 6pm. Her presentation, "Fault Lines of Faith: Reporting on Sectarian Conflict Around the Globe," will examine how today's world seems marked as never before by divisions split along religious lines.

Kay has reported on sectarian conflict including anti-Muslim rhetoric and violence in Myanmar, recent Muslim-Christian tensions in Kenya and inter-Christian warfare in Northern Ireland. Viewers have also seen her work on CBS' 60 Minutes and for other national news organizations.

The presentation is free for students and educators; $10 tickets at the door.
