San Diego, CA: A Conversation with Nicholas Kristof

In a moment of heightened political polarization, rising global conflict, and urgent humanitarian need, The Eugene M. Burke C.S.P. Lectureship on Religion and Society is honoured to welcome Nicholas Kristof—Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist, bestselling author, human rights advocate and Oxford and Harvard alum.

Kristof’s lecture arrives at a critical time, when questions of truth, moral leadership, and civic responsibility dominate both national headlines and community conversations. With decades of reporting from the frontlines of poverty, migration, and inequality—both abroad and within American communities—Kristof brings a deeply human perspective to the ethical crises that shape our world. His talk will offer not just insight, but a stirring call to action—inviting audiences to reflect on the role of compassion, faith, and activism in building more just, informed, and resilient communities.
