Pulitzer Prize winner to give Coca-Cola World Fund talk

Pulitzer Prize winner Samantha Power will deliver the 14th Coca-Cola World Fund at Yale Lecture on Tuesday, Nov. 14.

Titled "Iraq's Collateral Damage," Power's talk will begin at 4 p.m. in the Luce Hall auditorium, 34 Hillhouse Ave. Sponsored by the Law School and the School of Management, the talk is open to the public free of charge.

Power is the Anna Lindh Professor of Practice of Global Leadership and Public Policy at Harvard's John F. Kennedy School of Government. Her book, "A Problem from Hell: America and the Age of Genocide," was awarded the 2003 Pulitzer Prize for general non-fiction, the 2003 National Book Critics Circle Award for general non-fiction, and the Council on Foreign Relations' Arthur Ross Prize for the best book on U.S. foreign policy. Power's New Yorker article on the horrors in Darfur won the 2005 National Magazine Award for best reporting.

A graduate of Yale College, Power spent 2005-06 working in the office of Senator Barack Obama and is currently writing a biography of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Sergio Vieira de Mello, who was killed in Iraq in 2003.

The Coca-Cola World Fund at Yale was established in 1992 to support endeavors among specialists in the intersection between international relations, international law and the management of international enterprises and organizations.
