A Conversation with New York Times columnist Michelle Goldberg on "Progress and Backlash: Gender, Race, and Identity"

Berkeley Journalism Dean Geeta Anand talks with New York Times journalist Michelle Goldberg about democracy and authoritarianism in the context of gender, race and identity in the United States. Goldberg, an Opinion columnist for The New York Times and UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism alum, considers that while progress is often at the heart of the story the U.S. likes to tell itself, the backlash to that progress is just as central, if not more so.

Goldberg will explore why we’ve seen a furious response to gains by women and gender and racial minorities, and how journalists can best cover these cultural clashes in the upcoming election year.
