SUMMARY:Nevada Humanities: COVID-19 and its Uneven Impact on American Communities: a Conversation between Journalists Sheri Fink and Eli Saslow
DESCRIPTION:Nevada Humanities is pleased to welcome journalists Sheri Fink and Eli Saslow to a virtual conversation around COVID-19 and its uneven impact on American communities. \nSheri Fink’s investigation of patient deaths at a New Orleans hospital during Hurricane Katrina in 2009 has been followed by in-depth reporting on COVID-19 responses in New York City in 2020. Throughout his career\, Eli Saslow has expertly woven stories together between racial unrest\, poverty\, and access to health care – stresses in every community across the United States that are linked inextricably. At this online event\, Fink and Saslow will interview one another about the devastating relationship between healthcare access\, poverty\, and poor health outcomes\, as well as the uneven impact that COVID-19 has had on communities throughout the nation. The conversation will be followed by an audience Q+A moderated by Christina Barr\, Executive Director of Nevada Humanities. \n  \n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n\n\nPhoto by Jen Dessinger. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSheri Fink\, winner of a Pulitzer Prize for journalism and a National Magazine Award\, reports on the intersections between medicine\, natural disasters\, and human-made conflicts. She is the author of Five Days at Memorial: Life and Death in a Storm-Ravaged Hospital\, a landmark investigation of patient deaths at a New Orleans hospital during Hurricane Katrina—and a suspenseful portrayal of the quest for truth and justice. After the floodwaters rose and the heat climbed\, exhausted caregivers chose to designate certain patients last for rescue. Named a Best Nonfiction Book of 2013 by The New York Times\, Five Days at Memorial also won the National Book Critics Circle Award\, the Ridenhour Book Prize\, and The Los Angeles Times Book Prize. A former relief worker in disaster and conflict zones\, Fink received her MD and PhD from Stanford University. Her first book\, War Hospital: A True Story of Surgery and Survival\, is about medical professionals under siege during the genocide in Srebrenica\, Bosnia-Herzegovina. More recently\, Fink served as an executive producer on the Netflix documentary series Pandemic: How to Prevent an Outbreak and has reported for The New York Times on the coronavirus pandemic; hurricanes in Texas\, Florida and Puerto Rico; and emergency response to mass shootings. \n\n\n\n\n \n \n\n\nPhoto by Joanna Ceciliani. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn his Pulitzer Prize-winning coverage for The Washington Post\, Eli Saslow covers the impact of some of the most pressing national issues and policy decisions on individual lives\, from racism and poverty to addiction and school shootings. His ongoing oral history project for The Washington Post\, Voices from the Pandemic\, collects the accounts of ordinary people touched by COVID-19. Saslow’s latest book\, Rising Out of Hatred: The Awakening of a Former White Nationalist\, charts the rise of white nationalism through the experiences of one person who abandoned everything he was taught to believe. Saslow won the 2014 Pulitzer Prize in Explanatory Reporting for a yearlong series about food stamps in the United States\, later collected into the book American Hunger. \nLearn more about the Nevada Humanities Salon Series.

SUMMARY:Nevada Humanities: A Valley of Light and Shadows
DESCRIPTION:Las Vegas Writes is an annual collection of writings by local authors focused on a theme connected to Las Vegas. This year’s theme is stark: In Sin City\, what does it mean to be sinful? And how much do we concede in order to see ourselves as “good”? \nA Valley of Light and Shadow walks the thin neon line between salvation and damnation. \nSurrounded by cannabis dispensaries and slot machines\, these Las Vegas writers find their sense of right and wrong unmoored. Some reach a realization that their earlier moral lines were naively drawn. Others come to terms with the notion that Las Vegas is where good people go to submit to vice or where bad people land\, hoping for a second chance. And some celebrate the best parts of Las Vegas\, where good people can achieve great things. \nIn this 11th volume of the annual Las Vegas Writes anthology\, 14 local writers share their deepest and most tantalizing stories about surviving in shadow and thriving in light\, crafting an enduring message for the future. \nJoin us online on October 22 at 7 pm PDT to hear from the contributors of Las Vegas Writes Volume 11: A Valley of Light and Shadow: Las Vegas Writers on Good and Evil. \nFeatured authors: Keith Brantley\, Brittany Bronson\, Tim Chizmar\, Laura Decker\, Krista Diamond\, Fawn Douglas\, Eric Duran-Valle\, Samantha Goodman\, Don Hall\, Dana Jerman\, Glenn Puitt\, Elizabeth Quiñones-Zaldaña\, and Beth Rosenberg. \nEdited by Jarret Keene\nCover Design: Christopher Smith\nCover Art: Aaron Mayes \nPublisher: Huntington Press\nBook Sales: Purchase here \n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\nLas Vegas Writes is a program of Nevada Humanities and is a featured project in collaboration with the Las Vegas Book Festival\, published by Huntington Press. Learn more about Nevada Humanities\, Las Vegas Writes\, and the Las Vegas Book Festival.
