Tina Rosenberg, a Pulitzer Prize-winning author and foreign policy editorial writer for The New York Times, will speak at 7:30 p.m. today in the Wharton Center’s Pasant Theatre.

Rosenberg will present “Reporting on an AIDS Revolution: A Story of Hope for the Third World’s AIDS Crisis.” She was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for her 1996 non-fiction piece, “The Haunted Land: Facing Europe’s Ghosts after Communism.”

The lecture, which is open to the public, is the last of four in the series Fora: Lectures in the Arts and Humanities sponsored by the College of Arts & Letters.

Wendy Wilkins, dean of the college, said she hopes many students and community members attend the lecture.

Wilkins said she decided to invite Rosenberg to campus after reading her piece in The New York Times Magazine about Brazil and drug manufacturing for AIDS.

“What I’m hoping she’ll talk about is not only the situation for AIDS in the Third World, but also how she covers stories for The New York Times,” Wilkins said. “I hope she can give us some views of the backstage at the Times as well as the message she wants to bring about the treatment of AIDS in the Third World.”

Tickets can be purchased for $12 from the Wharton Center Box Office. Tickets are free for MSU students, faculty and staff.
