Join us for a conversation with Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and global correspondent Jeffrey Gettleman on his experiences reporting in Greenland over the past year for The New York Times, including his on-the-ground impressions and insights into the complex dynamic between competing global interests. 

A global correspondent specializing in conflict and crisis, Gettleman has written for The New York Times for over two decades, reporting on topics ranging from the famine in Somalia, to terrorism in Iraq, to the ongoing war in Ukraine. Beginning in early 2025, his correspondence has focused on the Nordic region, most prominently on unfolding events in Greenland. Since then, he has reported on topics including the Greenlandic response to threats of the U.S. acquisition, political counteractions by Denmark and implications for NATO, as well as how the situation has affected everyday life in Kalaallit Nunaat.

The discussion will take place via Zoom; advance registration recommended.
