Dorothy Day Lecture Series

Featured Speaker: Patrick Radden Keefe
Can There Be True Peace Without Reconciliation?

This event has been postponed. Please stay tuned for further details.

Patrick Radden Keefe, award winning author, will tell the story of Dolours Price, former IRA soldier and hunger striker, within the history of The Troubles in Northern Ireland. Weaving together evidence and intimate recollections of victims and perpetrators, he will explore profound—and timely—questions about the nature of political violence, how young people become radicalized in service of a cause, and how trauma and irresolution linger, long after a conflict has ended. Say Nothing: A True Story of Murder and Memory in Northern Ireland appeared on numerous lists of the 10 best books of 2019, including The Washington Post, The New York Times, The Atlantic, and The Wall Street Journal; longlisted for the National Book Award; and nominated for the National Book Critics Circle Award.

Keefe, a staff writer for The New Yorker, is a master of investigative journalism whose portfolio includes ground-breaking articles on the drug lord “El Chapo” Guzmán, and the Sackler family’s role in igniting the opioid crisis. Keefe earned a Marshall Scholarship, Guggenheim, Rockefeller and Woodrow Wilson fellowships, and won the Orwell Prize for Political Writing.
