The UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism hosts Mark Danner—one of our most astute political journalists—for a reading, discussion, and Q&A about his new book, Crossing the Rubicon, a collection of his best essays from 2000 - 2026, including pieces on fascism, the war on terror, Abu Ghraib, Dick Cheney, the Iraq War, the Bush-Gore and Trump elections, and many other subjects.
Danner will be joined in conversation with journalist Michael Pollan. For more than thirty years, Pollan has been writing books and articles about the places where the human and natural worlds intersect: on our plates, in our farms and gardens, and in our minds. His most recent book, A World Appears: A Journey into Consciousness, was published in 2026.
Attendance is free and open to the public. RSVP here.
